Did this break down in RWB last weekend? Think I might have seen you stopped at the side of the road...?
Lucky you didn't get run over. That truck just came out of nowhere!
The Gardner 6LW is fitted to one of our diesel locomotives. It develops about 110 HP. It easily moves a 190 tonne train over 8km line. The Scammell is only moving slowly in low gear so a 23 tonne load is easily moved, even uphill.
What was wrong with the Leyland Martian? They were still in service when I was in Germany in the 1970’s.
i like all old British vehicles 🙂🙂🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
.... and they only took 6½ hours to get to the shop, ... that was ¼ of a mile up the road !
They used to name those trucks ANYTHING!
Great clip of Power to the Pedal. Cheers
I think the leyland Martian driver pretending to be Brocken down and was saving money. Fuel economy is 3.5 miles per gallon.
Haha wish that was the case wouldn’t of cost so much to repair it
that scammell could probably pull the leyland up mount everest if it wanted to
Just out of shot, two elderly cyclists, an old woman with a shopping trolley and a milk float, all waiting to get past. Excellent stuff, and very much appreciated the mechanical sympathy that got the job done in a way that could be done almost indefinitely. Thanks for posting!
Don’t for get the three camels and three donkeys from london 😂😂😂
MY UNCLE, JACK BURNELL, WORKED AT SCAMMELL'S, IN WATFORD, AS A TROUBLE SHOOTER. HE WOULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IF AN OPERATER WAS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AND IT WAS HIS JOB TO FIND OUT WHY, WAS IT A DRIVER'S/OPERATOR'S FAULT, INCORRECT MAINTENANCE OR THE DESIGN FAULT OF A CERTAIN COMPONENT, IF IT WAS HE WOULD THEN LIASE WITH THE DESIGN OFFICE TO REDESIGN THAT COMPONENT THEN FLY BACK OUT, TO WHEREVER, AND FIT THAT PART - EXCELLENT SERVICE UNTIL LEYLANDS TOOK OVER AND DESTROYED THE COMMERCIAL MOTOR INDUSTRY JUST AS THEY DID WITH THE CAR INDUSTRY - LORD STOKES HAD A LOT TO ANSWER FOR !!!
I took a double take a few months ago whilst watching some old silent WW2 news films of the German surrender. Lines of them walking or driving in anything that moved towards the Allied lines. Trundling along was a Gardner Scammell covered in German troops getting a lift! It was painted in German Grey and had probably been in their service since 1940!
Have you a link to them please?
@@GavinMiller-rv7nc I will try and find it! Watch this space! 😉
MADE IN ENGLAND
Great to see the old lorry's working as they should be, good stuff
Ahh, a Leyland living up to the brand reputation, broken down again. 😂
Not sure who was 'blowing' the most 🙂
anyone remember a Scammell wrecker called "Little Pam " in the 50's ?
When I was little l used to love Scammell name and l was always looking out for their lorries. We used to live over a bakery and the generator was powered by a Scammell engine ❤
Same here, I was always on the lookout for Scammel vehicles, the epitome of power!!
good video, lovely Scammell, what was wrong with the confounded Leyland ?
Just Leyland things
I don't think you needed to run that fast up that hill as I bet this lovely old Scammel towing its Leyland stable mate wouldn't have caught you anyway!!!
The Leyland Martian Recovery vehicles weighs about 23 tons and the Scammell only has a Gardner 6LW diesel engine. Taking the hill into account, shows Scammell got the gear ratios right.
Completely agree with what you’ve said, but you missed the fact that the straight 6 Gardner Diesel also produced massive amounts of torque from low down all the way through the Rev range. A fantastic piece of engineering
@@OneFlyingLap Even my diesel car produces good torque from low revs across a wide range of revs. it is what diesels do. The only reason the Explorer was fitted with a petrol engine was because policy at the time dictated the Army got petrol, the Navy got diesel and the airforce got kerosene. The same standardisation thinking led to the B series engines and the totally under powered Leyland Martian Recovery. The fact so many Gardner engines are still in use proves their worth.
@@dukwdriver2909 Gardner engines and AEC engines have stood the test of time. I was agreeing with you, but what I was trying to say is good gearing along with a good engine that produced exceptional torque for the time and even now, all of it combined makes and made for one great vehicle
@@OneFlyingLap Agreed
@@OneFlyingLap massively undersquare bore/stroke of those days gave even the petrol engines of the day pretty good bottom end. Some manufacturers got it right, the yanks seemed to get on ok with their m25's which were petrol, that Hall Scott engine was the basis of a lot of their post war heavy haul tractors.
So many of these old girls spent a long time on recovery and showmans work after they were demobbed and I know the TA used them long after the regular army units, the only thing that stopped the one working in my local village was the reponse time that the police put down for the M1, replace it with a Volvo but couldn't do half the work of the old scammel
War was such a leisurely affair back then
What war was that in 1963
@@davestephens6582 that Scammel is much earlier.
I like the Leyland Martian it's towing!
Have always admired the engineering behind the Pioneer. An apparently undersized engine but the torque the power train puts out is simply amazing - ! 😊
That heavy breathing reminds me of Benny Hill.
Scammell = 👍🏻
Hill now 6" shorter
Gardener engine?
6LW by the looks of it.
@@stevebettany8778 Many tanks for te reply and info. Enjoy your weekend. 😎
Gardner
Such a powerhouse, i love these old motors, built a model one of these as a tank transporter in 1.72 scale, good to see it moving 😊
I can guarantee that was an airfix kit
I think it was, it was so long ago, i'v been asleep since then 🤣
@@user-tm5jo7oh5u Try a 1.35 scale Pioneer available from several kit makers. Lots of wee very detailed parts to fit - ! 😄
I shall keep an eye out for that, thanks 👍👍
@@user-tm5jo7oh5u thunder model make a good scammell pioneer kit we sell them where I work
How many gallons to the mile?
Were you out of breath running up the hill for the video? Got the old girl working hard doing what she does best mind!
My brother was yes hahah aye gave the engine a nice load to really bed in after the rebuild last year
My grandad drove 1939 pioneer in Cyprus in 1963 when he was in TA and it was a wreck and it broke down and Captain told him not to bother repairing it and dump it and my grandad left it up in hills in Papos and ripped parts off of it he also drove an Explorer out there and recovered a series 2 Land Rover green jackets crashed into a ravine and a compressor that toppled over.
Took me a while to notice it was moving
Wow what a couple of strange looking but unique trucks, being from Canada I’ve never seen something quite like it. The only strange looking trucks we have here are probably Oshkosh
There were a lot of bizarre custom trucks built for the Canadian logging industry. But most of those are unique homebrew things.
I love this Layland Martine 6x6 you have done a good job restore ing her would love to see it❤
Love the sound of these trucks 👍
Sounds nice and good looking ferret in the background 😁
Cheers really nice engine and the ferret is a cracker to
Is this a new toy?
Yes pal
She sounds well what's it got in?
@@ThePhilBilly rolls royce b81 when you coming for a go
@@AJToddy when I pull my finger out and come.uo with the camera! Hopefully with some better weather haha
Sounds lovely
Absolutely thanks
