James T Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Here's a few shots from near Covington, South Lanarkshire, taken yesterday. ...I must say, nice to see a change from the greens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James T Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Took photos of that one last week , see it still runs on odd size duals with a fair bit of wear on them It also has a continual haze of blue smoke ..and the boy driving it didn't look too 'chuffed' to be the centre of attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 was the 2 tone green version an option or did eastern europe run out of blue paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 was the 2 tone green version an option or did eastern europe run out of blue paint? Blue was a colour which had to be imported into the DDR so they swapped to Oliv green because that was a colour produced in their own country's.

Deere-est Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The chaps I am on with used to run a pair of Bonhills like this, one was a right goodun and the other a right sod. So much so the bad'un took the driver to the end of his teather so he drove from one farm he was cutting at straight to the scrap yard and left it there! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
