Great collection of photos mark :thumbup:

Not something you can often get good photos of, as attempts to snap them when driving past in a contraflow unless a passenger in a bus are usually unsuccessful.

Interesting spreader machine - usually see them on surface dressing works at one time.
Interested in Tractors, Plant, Heavy Haulage or Steam visit http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Tractor_%26_Construction_Plant_Wiki
Help document every manufacturer model build, and record every machine in preservation, clubs and events etc.

Thanks for your comments.
I was lucky enough to be standing on the over bridge, with a long lens! but it was bl**dy cold!!

The sweeper was unusual and a new one on me but then as Nick says it usually lives alot further south.

Sweeper is a Beam, sold in UK via Johnston Sweepers. Common on airport work where any rogue debris on the runway could spell disaster.... http://www.johnstonsweepers.com/page_view.asp?InfoID=333
