Photographed this one outside a local brick factory. Been sat there for years. Thinking of making a 1/24th scale model of it.

Cheers Michael

Thought I knew it, but not an area I general drive round usually on the M1 (may have been when I went to the breakers at Blackerhill (whose name escapes me now :dizzy: ))

Looks a tidy machine, Hope it dosent suffer the fate of a lot of the Old Corporate gate displays of suddenly being declare no use / unsafe and vanishing when they shut the place down or restructure.

Welcome to CMN Steve :thumbs_up:

Looks like a great little sand pit for playing with the toys. Look like some tidy machines there. :)
