1958 Scammell Junior Constructor


"Pickfords took delivery of an old friend in October when a vehicle named Resolute, fleet number M2070, returned after a long period to its original owner.

"In its prime the 1958 Scammell Junior Constructor was capable of hauling a load of over 100 tonnes. It was retired from the fleet and was acquired by transport enthusiast Paul Hammond. Paul spent many years faithfully restoring the Scammel to its original glory, researching the correct livery and ensuring that its mechanics were in working order. The vehicle has been shown regularly at transport shows and is an award winning example of vintage heavy haulage."

For such a large and imposing machine, it is interesting that it is called "Junior".

Junior because it wasn't all wheel drive.
