1I know what they did to get going, which was done very quickley, Any comments how the problem was solved ? Regards Larry
Hi Larry I have been in a similar situation several times and have used a near by wrecker, or fairground wagon with the generators on the back and even a land rover but it could just have been a bit of wheel spin losing traction so a couple of shovels of sand would have helped.
Cheers Johnnie

Same wagon again, on the side you will see Monarch, they also were involved with Dansette Radios and turntables, useless info but there you go.

Going back a bit now 1923, the transformer, made in Scotland, shipped from Leith to London, how about the bogie braking system.

The load is loaded on to a Bolster which will have a turn table so as the load will swing out at the front when negotiating a tight turn, it will work the same as if was loaded on to 2 bogies or an artic with a bolster on the fifth wheel and a bogie as the load will be secured to the bolster and not the wagons deck.
