First new D10 in UK

[macca1]

Ive heard a whispa that Banks have been looking at the D11 (thompsons old one ) to buy for there site at shotton along with 3 cat 637c not surer how true it is like

I hope your rumours are correct Macca1, i can then pop up to Shotton and get some snaps of it pushing those 637's. The last time i was up there the scraper fleet had gone! I suppose there will be more top soil stripping to be done at a later date as the mine gets more established.

Keep us informed of any developments!

Get to Tow Law as UK Coal will be stripping that new site soon may not be scrapers like as its a wet hole up there and one at ashington area too

[Mike d550]

Cheers macca1 will be heading up there with my trusty 35mm to get some shots, hopefully they will be using scrapers to strip the site

I thought there have been 4 x 11's in the UK working.

1 x D11n - Stokey
1 x D11n - Thompsons
1 x D11n - Crouch
1 x D11R - Stokey

Maybe wrong, but Stokey never had a 11N, original D10 yes.

Can't comment on the Crouch N either but again think this may be an original D10.......

Of course i stand to be corrected..................

Crouch did have a D11 at stobswood open cast in the 90s now in the usa i think
