Thanks Roel,

Always interesting when more info pops up on the old machines. Francis Pierre writes in his book "History of Road building" that British Jeffery Diamond took on the licence from Galion of the USA to build these machines from the mid 1950's - hence the similar design looks to the Galion range. Obviously they appear to use locally sourced components such as the Leyland 6 pot engine.
