I earlier referred to the CCC Nahang, built in USA for export to Iran in the '70s. Nahang, I have discovered, in Farsi means: Whale. Robert 
Not (yet) a reason to open a seperate thread on a Seddon Atkinson European, but this 400 from
1975 had a fuller 9-speed offered and (more important) also the ■■■■■■■ NTC335! Wonder why
ERF then “screwed/raped” the Motor Panels 5MW cab so severe as Seddon Atkinson apparently had
no problems to mount the NTC335 in their rather compact cab.
Apologies for the quality of the small leaflet which was handed out at Brussels Show in 1975. Hocké
was previously also importer for Seddon and later had also an outlet in Netherlands.

Very good find A-J! Perhaps I can post this valuable contribution on the LHD Seddon-Atkinson 400 ‘International’ thread for you. Cheers! Robert
In Patrick Dyer’s new book ERF B, C CP & E-series there is a fascinating snippet on p117 reminding us of the ‘Supertruck’ package, which was a flag-ship (bells and whistles) version of the ERF E14 tractive unit aimed at owner-drivers and prestige small fleets. The option only applied to the NTE 14-litre 320, 350 or 400-engined version with a full sleeper cab. The standard Twin-splitter or SAMT version of it was offered, BUT with the NTE 400 you could opt for a Fuller RTX14609. Perfect!
My questions are:
- Does anyone know if examples of these NTE 400 / Fuller RTX14609 equipped were actually supplied (and any pics)?
- Did any such beasts exist in LHD (we know that there were LHD E14s)?

I drove the S85 DOT gritters when they were new from memory they were 265 Rolls.They were originally fitted with the Foden box and all modified later with 9 speed Fullers.

Your right it was the 265 Eagle we did convert 1 to a ■■■■■■■ NTC 290 after someone cooked it ! But they where deffo Fuller 9speed in them when we had 4 of them in the mid 90s

I have put some on the F89 parts thread for you Buzzer.
I know I’ve flagged this up before, but in February 1989 Seddon-Atkinson announced that it would offer 9-speed Fullers instead of Twin-splitters on all its models up to and not including 400 bhp (■■■■■■■■■ Has anyone any photo evidence that these were produced / sold? Robert
From Commercial Motor:
From the beginning of March Strata buyers will also be able to specify a nine-speed Fuller RTX11609B gearbox, in place of the standard Eaton TS011612 Twin Splitter 12speed box. The Roadranger option covers all Stratos except for the most powerful 17.40C model fitted with the 298kW (400hp) ■■■■■■■ Super E 14litre engine. The nine-speed rangechange box saves 53kg in kerbweight and 250 on the chassis price. It is being offered in response to demands from rental fleets which feel that spotrental drivers will find it easier than the Twin Splitter to oper ate without any instruction.

Found this on the photo forum. ■■■■■■■ E290 with Fuller RTX11609 'box. Robert
There was two 9 speed Fuller Boxes I recall, the lighter one as used in the ERF “A” Series was designated the RTO 609 and from memory it had the crawler gear and 4 over 4 range change. Then there was the most popular box the 9509 which was a heavier box altogether. IIRC our 220 ■■■■■■■ and 180LXB “A” Series units had the lighter box but our 8LXB “A” Series had the heavier 9509 box. We also had a couple of Borderers with the 9509 boxes, one had the 8LXB engine and the other had the 220 ■■■■■■■ engine. All our other Borderers had the RTO 610 Road Ranger boxes. Cheers Bewick.
