Cant disagree Buzzer certainly bogged I can only surmise he tried to cross a flooded crossing, the eastern states have had their fair share of rain and flooded roads and rivers this year.

All these are Fordsons:
Lot of similarity between the Wartime Fords and the 50s and 60s Knocker Commers

Yes they did, the Dinky Toys tankers from the 1950’s were based on a Studebaker.

Yes, I think you are right Dig, it certainly doesn’t look as if he came off a bridge, but, before my time in NT, I was told of 2 trains which collided head on on one of those long curved single tracked bridges with one ending in the oggin.
Doesn’t look as if he was loaded either, no obvious exit damage to the crates and no signs of survivors inside. Perhaps if he had been, and had been hit by a wave, the extra weight might have been a help. Of course if the road was washed out beneath the surface, I have experienced that in Qld. and NSW, he’d have been over anyway.

They were big players in light truck market of 30’s and 40’s.Known for the WW2 US6 6x6 and 6x4 which was similar to the GMC type.
Also tractor units.
It started out as a well respected horse drawn carriage maker.Then progressed through the early horseless carriage years like REO, they can both be seen in the London to Brighton veteran car run.

That first Scania, wagon and drag, very posh, some might say wastefully so in view of its likely cargo, very heavy and possibly very mucky.

Aye. Low side skirts on a tipper? Is it on factory only work?

Don’t know the knob personally Buzzer but I believe that is a second generation 13 speed RR one you can split each low range gear but not really sure.

I recon they are side tipers there not usually high but I think longer than normal for for and aft tippers.
These are the real heavy duty units a bit higher and longer these trucks are grossing 170 tons on this job.
