1955 Scammell Constructor Diesel 6x6 CrewCab Truck 

What a machine! Could carry 30 tons of lead ballast, plus whatever it was towing. Looks wonderful in the Pickford's livery.

Imagine being so dedicated that you bring 10 ton of boiler plate ballast to the show for authenticity. Absolute beuty.

Very well turned out well cared for

What a beauty, thanks for sharing

a beautifully turned out truck congrats to the owner 'Im jealous LOL Id' love to own and show one as good as this

This was in the day when we had the best truck industry in the world not to mention buses and what do we have now??? No truck industry to speak off that’s British,railway engines built anywhere except in the UK where we’re also the leading force and a steel industry that barely exists. We have become a nation of consumers most of it coming from abroad which takes money out of the country and our government carry on as though nothing is wrong with our economy, we are living in a continuous Credit Bubble which one day will bite us on the Arse,this can’t go on for ever as the country borrows more and more money to pay for this fake lifestyle we lead,meanwhile the rich get richer and as soon as the bubble shows a sign of bursting they will disappear abroad taking their ill gotten gains with them leaving the rest of us in financial despair with no money for the National Health or anything else. We are living well beyond our means and no Government has the Balls to confront the problem but sooner or later it will have to be done regardless of the consequences,the good times are over and the sooner we realise it the better. Covid has brought this Financial Time Bomb sooner than it would have done and it will have to be dealt with wether we like it or not.

It put the transformers to Blaenau Ffestiniog hydro power station

My 2nd uncle used to own that

Probably a 6 cylinder, not a V-12, as I can't find anything on Rolls making a diesel V-12.
