smithy Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 They did take us right though the factory where the cut ,bend and weld ,paint and assemble the wheeled diggers and telescopic loaders but was not allowed to take photos , i think they said in a 8hr to 10hr shift there is a machine come of the line every 13 minutes , they work 24hrs on the cutting, bending and welding and painting of the parts so they have the parts for the 8/10hr day shifts , think they said there is 3500 workers on that site ,they have other sites just a few miles away making fastrac"s and cabs .as we left a helicopter left the site and we stopped at the ice cream van 20220622_165043.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was especially taken with the ones of the Bamford trailer. Did Britain’s model their early #9550 trailer on it? Is there anywhere I could get dimensions of it as I would like to attempt a model of it?
