Hi all thought it was tole for a new thread ! I went to the library on saturday and came back with two books on them . They made steam and diesel lorries .
Do some of our older friends remember them ? Tony
Yes I remember them, and I am not that old either! As a kid in Reading I remember Sentinel steamers on tar spraying jobs, and Sentinel lorries with the underfloor engines were kicking about into the early 1970’s. One of my old workmates rallies a couple of them and I attended a training course in 1980 at the Rolls Royce diesel engine factory in Shrewsbury which was situated in the old Sentinel factory, now a Morrisons!

Hi Peter I never said you had to be old to know them . But it helps ! Also on the site is Cat engines remane . I will get some pictures on here when I get the computer from the kids ! Tony
One turned up at the Leyland Museum recently, underfloor engine and all.
I was broken down in the 60’s with an old Albion at a garage in Leominster, it took two days to get the parts and the owner of the garage had a Sentinel steamer. He had it steamed up while I was there and took me for a spin in it. I was amazed how quickly it pulled away and how fast it went.
I used to see them on rare occasions coming through Walsden where I lived as a youngster.
Great pictures Dai. I will scan some pictures from the books I borrowed . Tony
Hi all looks like the tread is going ok . I was worried that it was old and it wasn’t going to be
