And didn't Mr Rhodes build up that custom twin engined monster? Seem to remember something like that up at Newman too - rotting away in a yard near that big 6 wheeler Haulpak opposite the pub.

While I'm rambling away here, at the tavern in Samson there's a pic of an old B Model Mack road train towing 5 trailers of asbestos out of Wittenoom. Try reversing that one back when you've overshot the turnoff.;-)

I remember something about a fleet of Leyland's during WW2 carting supplies to Darwin as well. Hippo's maybe? The Army also had a few Scammels for tank transporters in the 60's / 70's.

What a lovely drive the return trip would be empty.

See if this works
