Re: Walters transport
I wish I had my camera last Monday,a convoy of tanks on lowloaders at Cardiff west and a D9T being transported away from Finning Llantrisant .

Re: Walters transport
Martyn I think a new cylinder block and cam are needed for Grahams chariot, must say though that truck had about 100 ton on its back every day, Graham never seems to get any 312's to deliver its always big chunks, the 16 ltr engine is not without its agro, they have a nasty back case, injector seat troubles, plus I have seen a few spitting out cam rollers like grahams chariot.

Re: Walters transport
Good to see some new iron getting peddled about in the west, Walters Yellow does make the truck stick out on a road, the 730 HP motor is a total different beast to the 580-620 motor, its very low down power driving like a Cummins, the first Scania you can lug the revs down, all the other V8's had to be given the "Boot", the 730's I shuffle around with have been no trouble so far after a year of heavy work, the fuel thing is hard to scale as they are running at about 46 ton empty, the load just tops them up nicely.
