Spotted this at the weekend on Great Central Railway Leicester,Its a coal shovel that has been replaced by A JCB 525 telehandler for loading the steam locomotives. Still in tidy order.The preserved railway was also running full lenght coal trains.

Re: Weatherill
When was the first front drive rear steer Volvo produced?
Weatherill had the 8H in 1955 and this was close to Chaseside with a much more advanced looking LM 600. They were both predated by Matbro IIRR.
The front cab 42H arrived about '61.
