Yes, a rare beast, I think I read that the one in the photo had been fitted with a Perkins P6.
Still not exactly bursting with power, but probably just as well. I don't think the transmission could cope with any more.

Rail video with good film of dozers and scrapers etc working UK in early 50s, look at 3.0 -7.0 minutes.
6mins 28 secs being particularly interesting

Great bit of film there Craig, 
I'm glad to see two old Fowlers among the Allises, Cats and International. 
I've got some very old stills of work being carried out on a Brunell viaduct and tunnel local to me. Strictly horse and steam power then.
I'll post them in off topic later if I can find them.

I wonder if they cut the film of the tango-ing scrapers at 6min 28sec because the two on the left hit each other ?
