Hi Keith, I have recently found out some interesting information about the road shunter that used to position the oil tankers in the Esso depot at Hayle Wharves. Please share it in the relevant section of the website. If I get any more info or pictures, rest assured I will ping them across if I’m allowed.
I am involved with a group on Facebook called Nostalgic Hayle, and there has been a lot of interest in the Hayle Wharves trains. One gem that came out this weekend was details of the road oil tank shunter that dealt with the tanks at the Esso depot. One chap who serviced it each week has identified it as 1967 AEC Mandator E reg numbered 9744. The guys from Copperhouse garage used to service it on a Friday afternoon. We are hopeful of getting some pictures shortly too. Best wishes Craig
Many thanks for that Craig - I'll be delighted to pass on whatever you find.
