martc Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Kings Cross, and what's there? A Railway Station, and where do the trains go from there? That's right, Edinburgh. No un-gallant comments from the back please. And more Edinburgh. No politics please. warch, Shite Ron and Fat_Pirate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often you can say this but Whitcliffe and Ludlow Castle do look a lot nicer without all of that vegetation in the way. I did an excavation at Ludlow Castle slightly over a year ago, very interesting. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 17 hours ago, Rab said: I couldn't find any information on what a Snowtrac weighs, but as they're aluminium bodied I imagine they're quite light, possibly no heavier than the thing towing it (c. 1.4 tons). Mind you I've never seen a trailer like that before, is it ex military? Those girders underneath are a bit peculiar, it looks like it weighs at least a tonne in its own right. The heaviest thing I've ever shifted with my Land Rover 88 is another Land Rover 88 on a car trailer, north of Bristol to South Shropshire, that was about 2 and half tonnes, which in retrospect probably would have been illegal. I suppose the pleece would turn a blind eye to one of their own doing this in 1970 though. Rab and DSdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it became a sledge once you removed the wheels, so it could be towed behind the Sno Trac. I’ve seen something similar in other photos. The runners look a bit wide though.
