Restored Foden two stroke. The noise! the workload in punting it along!

Manual steering? Any synchromesh?

Would someone explain the transmission please? Is the little lever on the right a sort of preselected two speed that fills in the gap between ratios?

The little lever operates either overdrive or underdrive as required,of the gear selected. Great fun to drive!

Orsum post - fair play for the amount of time that must have taken....Love looking at lorry pics, especially period stuff such as the Guy Warriors (always a favourite of mine -- they were so distinctive on the roads back in my spotty childhood spotting days).   Very rare Rowe Hillmaster in the auction shot too (Scan3) - wouldn't be surprised if that's the last one left.   If lorries were still like this I would probably still enjoy my job in the dockside.   Good work Mr Craft!

What on earth is this? It looks like the result of an unholy union betwixt a bus and a dustbin lorry.

'Leyland experimental'

[phil_lihp]

For as long as I can remember there's been a scrapyard up on a hill next to the M5 motorway near Taunton with an enormous white tow truck sat in the field next to it.  I did a bit of inventive Googling as my lorry knowledge is non-existent and managed to find out that it's a Leyland Martian. I even found a couple of photos from other people...

 

 

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=27&f=210&t=779999&i=1040&mid=0&nmt=Cool+pics+of+urban+exploring%2C+abandoned+machines+and+stuff+

 

And another one here...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/48926370@N04/9117399313

 

There's a photo of it looking very sorry for itself dated 2003...
https://www.flickr.com/photos/88738529@N02/10445391825/

 

And it's still there today, the theory was that the yard used it for recovering broken lorries off the M5 and rolled it into the field when it finally died.  It looks like the sort of simple, tough old thing that would fire up and drive out of the field with a glug of fresh diesel and a jump start but in reality it's probably far too gone to be much use to anyone.

 

I also found a photo here:

http://www.trucknetuk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=35749&p=746085 depicting it in better times.

 

 

I'm assuming it's a 1950s ex-military truck.  The yard also has a very prominent double-decker bus lurking in the background, one day I'll have to try and get a closer look.
