Anyone know if this Caterpillar 933 tracked loader is a BR vehicle ?? It appears to have the side tip bucket for ballast and is working at London Road Station Manchester.

Thanks ,The arches are at 'Ardwick West Goods Station' The Foden is 'delivering beams to Hyde Road Bridge'. I think the whole subject of Railway road vehicles gets very little cover and its amazing how few photos there are on the net ,even as background to the zillions of train/rail infrastructure pics.

I am mainly interested in the 60/70s period and Rangers link above is the only good info I've seen on 'yellow' period vehicles

Heres a pic illustrating old and new liveries on what i think are Austin WF and Scarab artics and a rather fine ERF 8 wheeler beer tanker.

Few more interesting ( to me ! )BR motors from t'internet

Probably not original. The prologue of that film was set during the war (hence the shelter 'kits' on the back) so most likely it's a studio repaint.

Ah thought it was a bit strange not to have been BR repainted ,I should have watched the film ! (or the other stills , doh)

This looks like a genuine ex LNER post war Bedford O still in LNER colours in 1969.

Point taken , thanks for Austin WF link ,have deleted it.

Thanks for comments come across most of these whilst searching the net for photos on another topic. Got a few more but mainly Scarabs.

I'm also keen on railway vehicles so saved them if I saw one. The captions mainly relate to location only and I've lost most of these, but from memory the first one the Commer is in Sidmouth , the steam crane is near Wigan . And the Ford D'S in London obviously.

Is the FG dropside at Banstead pic 5 a railway truck, I wasn't sure ?

Has anyone had a go at making a Ford D baby artic with the Base toys models?

Few railway motors i've come across on t'internet .

No it was a front 3/4 view so definite mk1 thats why i remembered , but why didn't i save it

Corgi did their Mk1 Escort van in BR livery but I have yet to find a photo of one (Chalenge guys !)

Definetly seen one on internet pic parked in a station portico , problem is can't remember where !
