17 minute account of rebuilding a railway line, taken from
[Image: dvdcovercompressedx3.jpg]
BFi/British Transport Films Volume 7: The Age of the Train 2-DVD set. Not on imdb - perhaps because seems to be an internal BR staff film which would not have benn generally shown, but status confirmed here, and can be seen here or here.

Rejects:
- Escort NMk2 van and dumper; another crane truck

- concrete mixer

- stuff outside St Pancras at beginning and end of film - Ford D-Series and Bedford TK seem unusual bodywork??

 Orange thing on rails in thumbs is a Johnson Dumper with road wheels swapped for rail wheels, worth a pic IMHO.
But I may be the only person on planet with an interest in small British dumpers :)

 With hindsight I suppose as converted it is not a road vehicle.

 Here's the set of captures of the Johnson Dumper I could get - there's two of them working together

No numberplates visible and maybe some bits of railway-not-road bodywork like the bumper-guards - suggests these examples may be purpose-built as rail-use only, without dual capability to swap bits for road use.

 It's a 'Johnson Rotaplacer' for the hundred of Johnson fans who will come a googling :)
