Weatherill

Post #1 by XS650 » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:48 am

Spotted this at the weekend on Great Central Railway Leicester,Its a coal shovel that has been replaced by A JCB 525 telehandler for loading the steam locomotives. Still in tidy order.The preserved railway was also running full lenght coal trains.

Looks like a 42HD it may have a Perkins or Ford 6cyl depending on age.

Nice find, it looks to be in fairly good order for its age.

The Weatherill L86 looked a beast but it probably arrived 10 years too late.

The L86 does look a beast, it also reminds of Michigan loaders.

When was the first front drive rear steer Volvo produced?

Weatherill had the 8H in 1955 and this was close to Chaseside with a much more advanced looking LM 600. They were both predated by Matbro IIRR.

The front cab 42H arrived about '61.
