1930 Thornycroft model range... 1930 Thornycroft A1 1½-Ton 1930 Thornycroft A10 2-Ton 1930 Thornycroft A7 2½-Ton 1930 Thornycroft PC 4-Ton 1930 Thornycroft JJ 5-6 Ton 1930 Thornycroft QC 12-Ton (6-wheeler) I'm thinking is an A10 2-Ton or A7 2½ Ton and as it is semi-forward control the A7 like this example in restoration? http://commercialmotor.com/big-lorry-blog/museum-seeks-help-with-thorney http://www3.hants.gov.uk/thornycroft-pantech.jpg source: http://www3.hants.gov.uk/thornycroft/lorries-1/our-lorries-1.htm -- Last edit: 2014-09-24 13:18:08 |

My hunch would be something bigger than the A7s in your links if semi-forward control possibilities exist. Maybe size not so obvious in stills, but onscreen and moving it does look fairly massive. |

The railway companies often bought chassis and constructed the bodies in their own workshops. The planking apparent in the picture supports this, and my assessment of the size is that the vehicle is about four ton capacity, which would fit the size of a support vehicle designed to deliver from station to customer. |

I think semi-forward control is very possible for most chassis as the LNER were very large users of Thornycroft lorries they would probably be made to order. There were 46 repeat orders going to LNER by 1933. In 1933 there were big orders of between 21 and 42 2-ton forward control, short wheelbase platform lorries for example. |
