A question of Scammels
And other BR-owned vehicles
Karl Hewlett
Dear Roger/Jon,
Please could I put onto the CRS website a question to ask if any reader has images very could submit of three wheeled Scammell Scarab, or its earlier Mechanical Horse variant, or any BR/BRS owned vehicles including road-rail vehicles mainly pre 1990's. I am especially looking for Scarabs working in and out of Falmouth area station's (which I have been told by ex BR staff they were seen at what is now The Docks Goods Shed), but any Cornish location would be of interest.
There is a growing interest within the classic goods and heavy vehicle enthusiasts that have a crossover interest in the railways as these vehicles, despite being railway owned, were usually overlooked.
Many thanks!
