This was at the Truckfest Scotland show a few years ago, reregistered in the UK and currently doing heavy haulage (150 tonnes)

I like those antiques in the show. Good pictures. I will post a couple from the Canadian Automotive museum here in Oshawa for your viewing!
In your third picture I think that the machine on the trailer deck is probably what we would call a backhoe or trackhoe. In some other forum a person from the UK said that he was an operator of a "slewer". Would that be the same machine or something else. I never got to ask him tho.
P.S. See in them in the Gallery. I still can't for some reason get them over into my posts!

Checked out your photo's in the gallery, will try to dig out some more of my vintage photo's from the truck museum down in Leyland, Lancashire (England). I need to scan them first as I don't have them saved to my computer.
