that russian stuff may look dam ugly but it goes on for ever

They're Hungarian, some were fitted with Perkins 6.354 engines others came in with native Csepel engines. I've got models in several different colours in 1/87 scale. I know a bloke with several real ones.

'took some photo's of one outside Telham Forge (Hi Barry, ' good to meet you yesterday) the other year it was up there for some welding work.

I've got brochures I picked up from Smithfield in the late '60s.

:) can you guess what it is yet ? :D

Give the Rolf Harris impression some work though mate, eh?!
