What engine would this have had..
This looks a Scammell Scarab, but what kind of engine can it have to achieve such a hard job, pulling two trailers, one with a bulldozer?
Very probably a Cummins L10 and Fuller RT 11609

That Barnfather Bedford took me back, a driver I worked with at Buntine’s in Oz called everyone ‘father’, I don’t think it was due to abandonment, I think he simply could not be arsed to remember everyone’s name. Mind you he did consume a fair amount of Beenleigh’s (rum) and little white pills. 
That Cawthorn motor brings back memories.
We used to park in their yard at Belshill oppposite the old Catterpillar factory,.and head into the Social Club opposite (after loading out of Ravenscraig and Gartcosh BSC.)
Some good and wild nights in there, with some ‘‘dodgy faces’’ amongst the local regulars.
Ya had to watch yer p.s and q.s especially having an English accent…all good fun as a young lad though..
