| 1010L was a Leyland Beaver tractor unit combined with a Dyson trailer to form a 25-ton articulated machinery carrier. It replaced AEC Matador 603P (acquired 2nd-hand during WW2) when new in 1953, but only lasted until 1961. It was presumably replaced by the early Ford Thames Trader artics. Shown here is a nicely posed photo, the location and date of which are unfortunately unknown. The photo labelling did tell us that it was carrying a 15-ton Taylor and Challen press. The cab detailing is quite attractive, with 'winged' headlamps and radiator grille! More photos of 1010L and its trailer are coming up... |
