    Can you explain what a booster is as I don't get what you showed? Thx!

      @@Traumatree I see. Well the ‘booster’ was a very small single cylinder steam engine that was fitted under the cab, its use was to provide extra power. Mainly used at slower speed to help get trains moving. Thank you for your question. Hope you enjoyed.

    Corrections! I say the engine was designed by William Montgomery Sherman, but I actually meant to say Shannon. (More of a fumble really, mispronounced it) I quote the mileage of C10 as 1,160,845. As I'm sure you saw, it actually said 1,160,856. Incorrectly I say that ALL pre D class locomotives were built in the UK and USA. This is untrue however most were designed by the UK or USA.

      Although based mostly on UK or US designs, before the Dd class, most VR locos were built by the Phoenix Foundry in Ballarat - Phoenix built around 360 locos for VR, as well as locos for a number of railway contractors.

    Top speed 48 1/2 mph. 7.8 miles per gallon. 48 gallon tank with range 374 miles. Hill climb 1 in 1.46 with stop and restart. I used one, liked it, I only wish they had soundproofed the cab, increased the air cylinders size, stronger brakes, more powerful engine and bigger lift crane.

    hi there, i worked at AEC during the 70s when the mk3 militant was made, it was required that the vehicle must do 50mph, this was stipulated by the MOD, when the chassis cab was made it then went to Thornycroft for winch, top half of the cab was by Park Royal coachmakers, a heavy duty air cleaner behind the cab made by Burgess,

      @@-CorporalCharles06 I think I have other information, but would have to dig it out. This is from memory as recovery mechanics we had to learn vehicle info. Tractive effort was 12.3 tons or 12.5 tonnes. Winch was 7/8 diameter, 450 feet length, 390 feet working length. Winch put,was 15 tons, you could increase to 30 tons with snatch block.
