.....this delightful item!
(http://images.wikia.com/tractors/images/0/0f/Landrover_fitted_with_Road_rail_conversion_-_PA040123.JPG)
It just turned 22K miles on the journey to Melton Mowbray and is at L&H (who I recommend!) for an MOT

Mmm. Looks handy for camping, and the exhaust system is nice and accessible. :y
"What does she rev to, mister?" ;D

Ooh could have saved Mr Clarkson some work with his caravan train if he had a couple of those.
Line maintanance?

When it's cornering on rails does it have 5 reverse and one forward gear? :)

....... and as regards the phone conversation earlier all I managed to rescue was a brand new genuine series front bumper thanks to an over zealous parts apprentice, a skip and a bin lorry arriving today instead of Monday. Was lots of assorted switches, lamps and lenses, ball joints, seals engine parts etc etc. Now all destined for blooming landfill!

Thats a shame Broccie but, anything is gladly accepted as the above is by far the 'newest' of the fleet!
We use it mainly for weed killing the line, its a simple case of fit a large water container in the back, add some spray booms we have and off you go!
It also has a tail lift which si very handy.
No idea what it revs to, no rev counter but it has a turbo (and badly needs it with all the weight).
It corners like the Titanic though. :o

What's the top speed on the rails? ???

Indeed it is, I realy must get around to either compounding the sides or re-spraying them!
