OK Dan’l I believe you if no one else does 
Back to the Corsican railcar with these two colour pictures taken at its arrival in Bastia, in the harbour and then the railways station. The truck here is this time a Berliet TLM 15 M. We’re July 27th, 1975.
Well done froggy55 as you say he was a long way from home but would there have been many French hauliers in those days capable of carrying the rail carriages.

Is it fair to assume that the brakes were pretty much non-existing…?Absolutely, the only thing that worked was a rigid right leg, back and shoulder stressed from the brake pedal to the seat back which was itself hard against the cab metal. Also handbrake at the very last notch. Then, of course, one of those dangly Virgin Marys much beloved of the Spaniards would have been handy.
Reminded me of my first Albion 4 wheeler going down that steep drop into somewhere in Herefordshire after a seal burst and all the red stuff spurted out.

A Class Heavy Haulier in action today operating state of the art equipment moving a 70 ton payload for a quality client.
Playing devil’s advocate here… but I actually prefer seeing that 80t ERF 
Nice outfit though Bewick, the new trailer looks like a nice bit of kit.

Standing in the depot ready for the “off” in the morning to the next job ! Oh! now come on PV if that ERF was loaded to 80ton ( on private ground obviously) and you let the clutch in it would just stand there with smoke pouring out the bell housing !

Would you say the same thing if there was an Atki or Guy Big J involved Bewick?

All from a certain Mr. Pickford who started selling paraffin from a horse and cart. And just as a bonus, Carr Mill Cafe in the background on the East Lancs. Is it still there? And am I correct with the history? Haven’t read the links.

Bon jour David, I remember Carr Mill transport cafe very well from years ago. The building is still there, at least it was when I went past earlier this year.
The building is boarded up, and the lorry parking area is blocked off with huge concrete blocks. Put " Carr Mill St Helens " into your Google Earth thingamy
and you can obtain a good view of the area. Au Revoir, Ray Smyth.

The history pages are interesting but it’s a pity that whoever put it together didn’t know how to spell Scammell (spelling it with one L)
