Recently in "a Truck Magazine" there was an article about SRS' Road Railers.

Unfortunately one of their trucks was stolen from Rugby over the weekend. It's a specialist vehicle, therefore is probably justified in it's price tag of £300k :shock: :shock: Volvo 25t rigid 3 axle vehicle. DX54 SRZ

As you can see, quite specialist. <D <D

Do you think there's a reward for finding it?
I think we should all stand around Rugby and get it back...
A few of us might get squished, but if its a big reward, our lives will be worth it :p

You have clearly forgotten that they cannot control the raiwlays, the siggies will put it in a siding and hope for the best i would imagine.
But if they didn't like the way the points were set, up go the rail wheels and down go the tyre wheels :razz: then, when clear of the points, put the rail wheels down again ;)

Anyway, whatever they do with it, they are bound to get caught sooner rather than later!!

You have greater faith in Plod than I do!

I'd like to see that thing get through one of the many tunnels without losing its top.

Ok ok i admit it, Coxster made me steal it to form the new EKR tunnel inspection train. I was totally against the idea, but he made me do it, for the record, officer ;) :D

Funny should mention it, i've been doing that all day, inbetween trips to a worksite 20 miles away to dig Jag out of the **** as he is thick and can't even change a 40ft rail on plain line
