Have heard a rumour the deal with Banks and G Simpson to buy the D11N and possibly the scrapers has fallen through :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard the D11N is no longer in Simpsons yard :o

Would be interested to know the facts on the above ?

The tale i've heard was that he owe'd banks's for the D400's he had, these and some 631 shaped collateral had been retrieved by banks's and the D11 was going back to Eddy Wright's near crook as that was who'd got it originally from thompson's.

I can confirm that the D11 has left simpsons yard for sure, as have all the scrapers and cat trucks that were there ,all thats left now are the remains of the liebherr r984 ,the 1 red cat -primer scraper and 2 liebherr 992s in bits
