The USA had several twin engined designs, not all were successful but these seemed ok.

Interesting article about them, technically very advanced.

Come on Lads lets keep this thread mobile, Stuff all the Mod Stuff, Im proud to say that I was born before the last war and learned the bloody hard way, Made a good living as a long distance driver, Not that I would like to do it now, But I did have my own family firm for almost 30 years and Im retired and trying to enjoy what years Ive got left having a few drams before I retire for the night and hope I do wake up feeling stiff so as I dont roll out of bed, ,Im just having a wee dram of a Deanston Single 46.3 Volt, Very Very Nice too, All the best to everyone, Good Night, Larry.

Come on where the ■■■■ are you you old drivers hiding, Be like me and all of you come out and show your true colours. Larry.

[lawrence_dunbar]

Oh dear, Its looks like Im going to have to go out on the Lash Alone, Very sad in my book, But there you go you takes your chance and win or loose, As long as one has had a good time, And got home SAS Thats is good, Larry.

These are my motors parked in Ralph Crow’s yard, ( Deighton Bros) the MAN I bought from Pilkington Bros at Chester le Street. Tony P. Did me well with that motor, apart from regular maintenance I never spent a penny on it.

[ray_brown]

Are these old enough for you Lawrence?

[kevmac47]

I recognise Walter List with his stick! When I worked at Miles Druce Metals in Hebburn his yard was just next to our depot exit. I don’t recognise the driver, but an old pal of mine, Walter Gallon worked for him for a while. Regards Kev.
