They like their Commer/Karrier did Hindley Council. This could be a two stroke engine. Not ideal for coal bagging.
If my memory serves me right,it was painted green.
Gary You have never seen any Commer TS3 engines in Hindley
Council Vehicles Has I have told you before if my aunt had
balls she would be my uncle D.C.
Please dont go back on the wagon trail.
Derrick 2 strokes are petrol engines.
As Gary said, not suitable for coal.
The Commer TS3 was a diesel engine. Foden built a 2 stroke diesel for many years. The Deltic,which I worked on in my time at the Vulcan,had a Napier 2 stroke diesel.
Alan, The Commer TS3 was a Flat Diesel engine Unique and with a distinctive sound Nicknamed as the " Commer Knocker" by some. Widely used in both wagons and coaches
I once owned a Wartburg Knight 353w, the car engine was a 993cc two stroke petrol.
Some Commer lorries were fitted with the Rootes Group TS3
2-Stroke diesel engine,3 cylinders with 2 horizontally
opposed pistons in each cylinder. Foden Motors at Sandbach
also fitted some lorries with a 2-Stroke engine.
