I wonder if the later one was bought in response to the 44 ton proposals, that the Gov were looking at in 1970? I thought those proposals called for a double drive tractor, so I can’t explain why it is a 6x2. SoM historians may be able to shed more light on it.Talking about sheds, that Hipwood and Grundy motor has a rather rough-looking sleeper conversion.
Many thanks anorak,just the ticket.
I do know that SoM were very active in the transporting of Caterpillar earth movers from Glasgow area,perhaps the double drive was purchased with this in mind,they had a couple of Guy double drives with 220 ■■■■■■■ in them too.

Well David I had another think and I will hold my hand up it was a shot of an SoM Big J double drive with “Heavy Haulage” across the bumper and not a Double Drive 110 ! so the Big J would be one and the same that you have quoted ! my apologies ! Cheers Dennis

In an old thread/post on TN there is a shot of an SoM Scania coupled to one of their Highway trailers and I’m sure it is a double drive bogie plus it is lettered “HEAVY HAULAGE” across the front bumper. Cheers Bewick.
Just for you Dennis!
You are a Gent and a Scholar David ! unfortunately there are not many of us left apart for the few that are still operating on this TN site ! 
Anyway thanks for putting the shot on Mate ! Cheers Dennis.
