The Scrapers are working just outside Corby on a 1200 acre site, 631G and 637G chariots, there is a few skins from Leeds about on the site.

You know Nick they look very familiar in that livery to ones that Thibault has posted on the French site so there may be some truth in that; just struck a chord with me that I had seen those machines in a similar livery before.

Re: Hewlett Scrapers
The 631's copped a boat trip from France (vinci?) the 637 copped a ride down the M1 it did have a Coal bowl that was returned back to a standard muck bowl, I am going back to the site next week to gas up the necks and sort a diff lock issue, the Nitrogen charge in the neck is via 2 cylinders, 1 cylinder is low pressure around 450 psi the other cylinder is higher at 1200 psi to give a smooth ride with the bowl full or empty, the cylinder charge spec is firstly sorted by the part N'o on the cylinder then the day temp' to a set scale to adjust the charge as needed, then the charge pressure is checked after about a month to monitor pressure loss, if all is good at this point the re-gas is done at around the 3 month spot.
