The vehicle is only seen from this side the driving cab being on the opposite side. Road wheels are clearly visible under the front and rear axles. source: http://homepages.which.net/~gordon.dudman/titfield2.html I believe it deserves its own listing as its based on a chassis from a road vehicle and has a major role. -- Last edit: 2007-11-28 15:13:51
