ISSUE THREE - March 2010

Well Coles News 3 now hits the news stands and lets hope we don't get the rioting in the streets when copy's of the last issue ran out.
Another month and another update. First about an interesting find of an old crane again and a new section about Neal's cranes. Anyone wishing to have an e-mail sent to the them when ever a new issue of this pages is posted on the site, let me have your e-mail address and I will put you on the mailing list. The e-mail will contain a link to this new Cole News page.


GREAT FIND
Rummaging round the internet we find this
There was no information to go with the photo but this looks very much like one of the early prototypes of the Taylors Jumbo. It Has the Taylor makers plaque wether this was an experiment to find a new chassis after the army surplus chassis ran out or wether it was really the original prototype I don't know. I would appreciate it if anyone can help on this one. Perhaps someone could place a date in the tractor unit.



NEW SECTION
At long last I have added a section on Neal Units. This firm was quite a major player even before Coles took it over, so its back story is fairly important. I am still working on the history story and am going to put that together shortly. It will be part of the next update.

Have an update on the old Australian L6000 that Boom sold, it was bought by Bridge and Marine of Melbourne. They have completely refurbished the unit and sent me some lovely pictures which I will put up on the site in due course.
