There is a easy way of identifying a engine with a missing or faded plate and that is to look around the engine for the NTET Boiler Test disc assuming that it is in steam or capable of being steamed!

Spotted Sentinel steam lorry WJ 8985 powering its way up the A34 near East Ilsley this morning and myself and some members of a truck forum I am on were wondering where had travelled to the show from. There is a chap from the Doncaster area who has a similar one, perhaps that actual one? Also, can they use motorways, I know they can maintain a decent speed? Thanks in advance..

Pete.
