Weatherill

Probably just perspective, it looks like the pulley control lines drape right across the road.

Not my photos. Weatherill L62 from the early 60s with rear steer powered, probably, by the Roots TS3 2 stroke. That would have been one noisy barsteward to operate I would think.

It would have sounded great though Pete (except if you had a headache )

A 1977 UK press advert for Weatherill.

That would be for their largest artic shovels, the L84 and L86. From the proportions I would guess the latter. Probably got to that point too late in the day.

A Short article from the February 1956 edition of Coal magazine about a Wetherill type 6HL for coke handling.

[essexpete]

Never heard of a 6HL before. Odd looking arm arrangement.

That's a nice one, quite big too. You can't miss a Major here!

Coke was a by-product of coal after gas extraction, very light non dense material. The loader really looks like an adaptation of the 2H. Model.

Silver & Silver Gilt model of 12H only 3 were made one for Mr Weatherill one for the sales manager and one for the customer Truemix
Lesney actually sold over 1.5 million of this model
