Great photo Angle... Hamersley Iron's L924 was Canadian built and as Detective wrote powered with a Cummins NT-380. Cheers James,

Cheers James.

g'day jimmy, swishy and all .. what is written on the door is H N Reeve and sons cartage contractors

this truck pranged into a tree stump somewhere on, or about the hay plain, and sent the LH front wheel back into the series parallel mounted to the battery box squashing things up a bit, causing the unit to short, which then started a fire that became, unfortunately uncontrollable :'( :'( :'(

...swishy could possibly elaborate further as he knew the man who owned it at the time (hughie ottrey) as hughie had purchased this rig from the beamish empire

it is believed it possibly ended up back at royans in wagga wagga....cheers

Thanks for all the info guys.... So this one could possibly be still out there some-where.
Cheers James....

i was thinking more like the wrecking yard at royans...as a total loss :'( :'(
