| Mercedes 1114 demountable lorry 2491M has already made five appearances on LTSV, but I am adding a further two today. The first view is simply a good photograph, showing the lorry on Artillery Row, crossing Victoria Street, on 18th April 2000. 2491M was one of the demountable lorries that were used for emergency duties when new, as evidenced by the illuminated headboard that originally had 'Emergency' lettering but which now shows just the roundel. 2491M was to remain in general haulage use until 2006 (when it was replaced by new MAN LE demountable lorries), and it was often used in combination with curtainsided body DB15, as shown here. Built by Locomotors in 1993, DB15 was still in use as of early 2020. |
