Runflat Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) in this gallery there are some very nice pioneers http://www.flickr.com/photos/homer----simpson/sets/72157623953358333/detail/?page=3 Great link, thanks; and some iconic Scammells in that collection. I was really surprised to see the Pioneer TRMU and trailer - I thought it was overseas. Here are some more photographs of 'her' at Beltring W&P many years ago: Edited November 7, 2011 by Runflat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Nice pics Runflat, notice the broken up coupling parts beside the front wheel, it arrived on site with no rubber bits left in one of the coupling! :shake: I seem to remember the coupling being brass, and really shiny where the two brass parts where in contact.

gritineye Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The film Glorious 39 has a scene where the heroine is inexplicably unable to outrun a Pioneer SV2S in a sports car, had many of these been cast and got into private hands in 1939? I think not.. She pulls over to let it pass.. She comes across a checkpoint and gosh another Pioneer.. Amazingly this one is a REME SV1S, much more likely! Any one know who owns this rare beast?

motorfahrer Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hello, maybe of interest but on ebay in Austria pictures of an Scammel Pioneer after the war in Austria are sold. http://www.ebay.de/itm/1-191-4Fotos-USA-div-LKW-Vorkrieg-2-/380381494426?pt=Kataloge_Prospekte&hash=item589080fc9a#ht_500wt_1156. It is not on the topic but as there are pictures of CP Fords too i will say that as far as i know Austria got some CP Fords after the war to overcome shortages of transportation of food. http://www.ebay.de/itm/1-192-4Fotos-USA-div-LKW-Vorkrieg-3-/380381494448?pt=Kataloge_Prospekte&hash=item589080fcb0#ht_500wt_1156 Motorfahrer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david56 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Playing with my new Phone. This is all that is left of the Scammell factories in Watford. The first is was a factory, the second is of the rear gates and fence at the old main factory. There has been built a housing estate and the street names do bear witness to their past Pioneer Way, Crusader Way and Explorer Drive, They all lead off Scammell Way. Not much!
