Hi Spardo some more NT stuff for you from Australian Archive and useable for study and research, the first one is a different shot of the outfit I posted earlier at Louisa Downs.

Linn tractors were made in the early 1900s at Morris, New York State, popular for rough terrain work and snow clearance. The one in the Richard Mohr Collection is preserved in Australia.

Wow, memories overload there Oily, what with all the road trains and a Scammell Highwayman. 
I see Ted Stiles gets in on the act again as well as, I think, a Co-Ord train powering through my old home (for a while) town. But what about that AEC, not Chris on a night out after swapping his tanks for crates? 
Thanks again mate. One of these days I’ll get round to scanning a few from a book I have for which I have the publishers’ permission.

Sorted, thanks, not being an expert on Scammell( and lots of other things) I take heed of those who know better.

Singapore eh? Still some tramping though.
Were you there when the Japs arrived?
Sorry mate, I’m on me way. 
Adverts from the early 1950s. I like the ERF one to quote “Onlookers astounded, the natives doubting”

This load is bolted to the frames at each end and the bolsters on the bogies are removed as the frame work as its own bolsters and the load actually becomes the trailer with a bogie at each end . They were called a suspended load and this system was used to bring the overall running height as low as possible on large tanks and vessels and was used on loads up to around 50 tons I think there was only this one which was based at Sheffield depot ( but maybe wrong ) as we did a lot out of Strood and is running down empty with the frames bolted together. The only thing you used was a rope to tie the airlines and electrical suzies up.
We also had two tilt frames at Sheffield which were used to bring loads under 14 foot wide as they did not need a VR1 which was D.O.T. permission before manufacturing could be started. There was one on a Scammell Highwayman which could carry 20 tons and one which fitted onto a girder trailer and could carry 60 tons.
cheers Johnnie

Fascinating that, and I did follow the link, to think that that revolutionary machine predated the AEC government road train by 20 odd years,
Shabby bit of roping and sheeting though.
