B342 XHY, 'BRAIDEN
JAMES'
1984-85 B-reg Foden S10 S106, S10 day-cabbed, 6x4, Arcade load-bodied
Artic, This ex-Wincanton Transport tractive unit is powered by
a Cummins LTA10-290, turbocharged and aftercooled, l0-litre, 6-cylinder,
290 brake horse power diesel engine, driving through a Fuller
gearbox to a Leyland Constructor rear double drive bogie. This
design of rear bogie started life in the Scammell Routeman 8x4
Lorry model and was regarded as the best in the business for off-road
work. So much so that when the Routeman was replaced by the new
Leyland Constructor Eight-Wheeler model in 1980 the rear bogie
design continued unaltered in the new Constructor. BRAIDEN JAMES
has been in service with Roger Tuby since 1990,originally hauling
his Lucky Strike Arcade, but has been hauling Roger's HollywoodArcade
since 1991.
