Hi Harry,
He is on these threads. Had a chat with him while he was waiting to park the outfit,he was good enough to ring me and tell me that he was coming up this way. That quarry is only 5 minutes away by vehicle from our place.
Cheers Dave.
Graham’s Scania with Nooteboom trailer and bogie, with the Locotrack onboard parked at Dolyhir.
I remember when the crushers were on a trailer chassis and if you did not have the brakes adjusted before you moved them you would have a very scarey journey 
that was a long time ago.

Hi Johnnie,
I remeber Nash Rocks who had the quarry that the pics of Graham’s moter was taken.They had a mobile crusher called Goliath which they move from that quarry to another about four miles away,it weighed 80 ton as far as I know,they pulled it with a loading shovel with another pushing from behind. Once in place it was static,whereas the one on the lowloader is on tracks and is fed by a 360% machine and moved quite often.
Cheers Dave.
Steering axle’s on the bogie.
Closer look at the crusher,also the rear steer axle’son the trailer.
View from the nearside including the rear steer axle’s.
Side view shows how long this load is!!!
Graham reversing the combination back to have a sweep into his parking place.
Awaiting orders for parking.
A similar machine to the one Graham had onboard,at work.

Hi Johnne,
The last time Nash moved theirs,was in the 80’s,it was used when Leominster bypass was built. I have a pic which I posted previously. I will dig it out and stick it on again.
Cheers Dave.
