Default Totally anecdotal but...

The late George Williams ( steam roller driver North Wales) told me that the N type Foden , see page 47 of John Crawley.s book owned by William Thomas of Chester was scrapped only because it was wrecked in a major accident on Tarvin Hill, and NOT as some suppose that it was a failure. George added that he had seen it running fully loaded at very high speeds, well above those of the Sentinels then in use. Again very secondhand but none the less an interesting story. regards David Powell.
