100 ton on four axles

Post #1 by canaldrifter » Mon Dec 13, 2010 6:49 pm

Just found this in my collection:

Image

Sticker on the back states: The Scammel 100 ton machinery transporter passed into the hands of several operators during its long life and is here seen working for Edward Box & Co Ltd., carrying a very large 10 coupled steam locomotive for Turkish railways. (A Beyer Peacock)

A stamp on the back states that the photograph has been issued by Scammel Lorries of Watford and may be reproduced for publicity purposes with acknowledgment of source.

No date or location is given.

The distinctive street lighting and the temperance shop may be a clue.
