Here is another shot of the 120c that is in SB's pictures. It's working on a reclaimation project to remove burning mine spoil bings at Polkemmet in Scotland. The job is now finished and they will be building houses on parts of the site. They recovered over 1,500,000 tonnes of coal during the clean up process. It was all done using a fleet of 120c's....all of which were high hour machines which have spent a tough life in the Scottish coal fields.

The D9's RH120 have been sold to Scottish coal, not sure on the 777's yet.

I may be wrong but is this ex- Taylor Woodrow?

Fentons (now Minrec) machines were pretty much all mongrels. They did have one which was originally in Taylor Woodrows fleet green as well as an ex NSM machine in yellow. But as Stuart says it is possibly to get high availability from these machines but it des require a bit of intensive care at times. I hear that Scottish Coal is hungry for a lot more machines since they won their new contract with SP.

4 new machines rumoured to be on their way, can't say what, but you might be surprised
