Rear wheel steering, (or rear bogie steering)

Family of a friend of mine comes from the Black Forest.

His grand-grand father job in the 1920/30-ies was on the rear trailer of timber trucks,

he on the steering wheel and a college of him on the braking wheel.

I remember a photo of them on the trailer at my friends home, looks real impressive and like very hard work.

With our engines and low prices for material and energy, special petrol, we are all "soft eggs" today

It is a lamp post.

A couple of years back when they moved a Concorde from Heathrow to the Thames at Brentford by road they had to uproot a fair few signs and bollards.

Hi Roger

Much more interesting cargo too..I take it the signs and bollards were removed in advance rather than 'uproot-as-you-go' !:D

It appears that the car is taxed according to DVLA.

Would be great if the owner is a member and gets to see this post. Maybe it should be put on the TR's Re-united section

I believe that Neils was 4100 HJ.

I admire the skill shown by the drivers, especially the fellow at the rear, who, having no forward view, has to be very alert to what's happening to right and left.  And they travel at a fair old lick!
