Mick Norton Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 As a Royal engineer plant operator in the 1960s I often helped the Scammell crews load/unload their prime mover ballast blocks. My question is, "What were the weight of the individual ballast weights and the cumulative total?" Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI the similar wooden bodied MOS Constructors that were used with Dyson 50 ton drawbar trailers to deliver new Centurions were ballasted with 8 tons of weights.
