It was a petrol engine that just gulped fuel by the gallon. Used to get a lot of attention when it went out which wasn't that often. Was a camper when I had it. If anyone knows if its still around I would love to know how its doing. If i remember correctly there is a hiss of air brakes when it comes into shot. It was hydraulic all round and barely had brakes at all. -- Last edit: 2025-10-12 22:44:08
