![[Image: titlea.8.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/titlea.8.jpg) ![[Image: title.387.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/title.387.jpg) 17 minute account of rebuilding a railway line, taken from ![[Image: dvdcovercompressedx3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/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 ![[Image: 02-17escdumper.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-17escdumper.jpg) ![[Image: 04-19crane.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/04-19crane.jpg) - concrete mixer ![[Image: 07-14mixer.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixer.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixera.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixera.jpg) - stuff outside St Pancras at beginning and end of film - Ford D-Series and Bedford TK seem unusual bodywork?? ![[Image: 16-41stp00-06.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stp00-06.jpg) ![[Image: 16-41stp00-06a.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stp00-06a.jpg) ![[Image: 16-41stp00-06b.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stp00-06b.jpg) ![[Image: 16-41stp.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stp.jpg) ![[Image: 16-41stpa.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stpa.jpg) ![[Image: 16-41stpb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/16-41stpb.jpg) -- Last edit: 2017-07-12 04:54:23 |

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 .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2017-07-11 15:46:43 |

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![[Image: 07-14mixerb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixerb.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixerc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixerc.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixerd.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixerd.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixeree.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixeree.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixerf.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixerf.jpg) ![[Image: 07-14mixerg.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-14mixerg.jpg) 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 -- Last edit: 2017-07-14 13:15:08 |
