Two of these Tractor units were bought.However one was wrecked when
it was caught on a Level Crossing.The Signalman wasn't warned correctly about
the speed of the load,and as it took the Crossing in low range a Train piled into it.
I think a couple on the train were killed but the Tractor units crew jumped clear.

Where's Harry Beese?
I think this is from the old series "Classic Trucks" episode 6,"monsters" which begins with a Cat 789 then moves onto heavy haulage. I am pretty sure that is where this is from but can't find the series anywhere. A Pickfords clip elsewhere is also from the same episode too. This program was on in the 90's.

You are correct, this clip and "Pickfords Heavy Haulage" was screened as "Classic Trucks"- sadly I only caught one episode

I think there were only 6 episodes. I remember one with an old tar machine and another with farm machinery - I think I will post a clip!
