Excellent pics there guys! :claphands:

Lots of Glasgow ones cropping up, the last two above are of one of Sandy Gilmour's machines. He had the first Cat 977 I ever saw, I can remeber standing in the bucket when it was delivered, that was oooooooh, about 48 years ago! :lol:

The second photo from the top of the huge Drott next to the Thames Traders is amazing!! Why? Thats the first ever picture I have seen of a Doncaster built I-H BTD20 Drott shovel in working action! So few BTD20's were built to this specification. A real gem of a photo!! :claphands:
