About

Recoverd from a wood near Wellington Somerset in the mid 1990’s. There wasn’t a starting handle but another machine nearby kindly donated it’s handle!!
It had to be tracked out of the wood and winched onto the stepframe trailer using our Field Marshall
Series 2 Tractor.

This is the earlier model dating from late 1930’s / 1940’s and certainly before the 1950’s when the modern cab with the familiar cream and crimson livery was introduced.

The chamfered cab was to make it acceptable in tunnels.
Note the precarious platform for operating the starting handle.
