I have had a go at driving those Platform Trucks , but newer - manuf. 1948 - Manufacturer 'Electricar' , not something I would wish to do often.

Yes you are right. A BR80 model perhaps?

Very nice photo.

Thanks

The Latil would be mid 1920's onwards never seen one as a shunter before; not this side of the channel anyway.

The railways had quite a few Latils some for hauling road trailers, some with winches.

Citroen used those platform trucks in their ammo factory, in lunchtime they moved the plates for the eating staff.. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PZ1qXnQ7mqo/UwynivtrtII/AAAAAAAABxg/-axiXNeXedo/s1600/0_a5aae_b9533b32_XXXL.jpg
