Love the Cummins powered Marathon 2 :thumbup: the little Poclain 35 is a rare beast.

A few Fodens, one with my restored Fowler and a very unusual Scammell.

Fred the nose of the unusual Scammell is the same as the tank transporter that if I correctly recall was one of the last trucks to be made that carried the Scammell name; must say that is one very ugly truck, Vic Berry who was operating the one in the photograph was a famous railway locomotive scrap yard in Leicester.

I would have said that was the front half of a LandTrain bonnet. The tank transporter was the Commander and the bonnet would have been as wide as the T45 cab.
I vaguely recall something similar in CM many years ago, the explanation being the extension housed a winch.

Scammell Commander, or if you want to be pedantic, Antar mk4!

Yes Rob you are correct and that was the beast I was thinking about similar looking but not exactly the same. :thumbup:

Hi Jeremy,
If you look closely it is an S26 cab with the bonnet added on.
There is also info in the pic. itself. There is a King trailer badge on the bonnet which possibly refers to the trailer and S26S which is I think the Scammell model number.
I have Googled Scammell S26S and can find no reference to a model S26 with the suffix S. That "S" may stand for "Special" as they did build specials to order.

I think it ended up looking like that after it had a 14 litre Cummins retrofitted - Allelys Heavy Haulage had it next and put it back to a flat front.
