Banks 631C & 637C

Post #1 by Mike d550 » Tue Jun 10, 2008 4:08 pm

As requested here are a couple of photos i took the other day of the Banks 631C and 637C, i believe these machines are from 1975 so to see them earning their keep in 2008 is impressive!!!!!

Yep, ward bros are still on the go, i'm loading a 45t akerman for them in great yarmouth in the morning!

Currently they run an FH16 volvo, they've also bought the scammell back from an opencast and its being restored by them!!!

Not sure whats on the plant side, will ask some questions
