Just a thought but perhaps this photo was taken at the 1991 depot open day. The truck was in virtually the same location, although not being turned, when I photo'd it next to ADRC96712 on 18-08-91
There is a winch inside the box at the front of the trailer, which is connected to the centre of the Trolley.
The trailer has two small ramps, presumablly tucked up in the belly of the trailer & when at a site, the trailer is tilted, the rmaps put into position & the trolley winched off.
The trailer is then removed from the rails & the Landrover returns & the rail wheels are lowered & the Landrover & Trolley connected up.
Kevin Snelling has provided photo's at Severn Tunnel Junction of the equipment.
Perhaps in the early days they were partnered with a particular machine but that wasn't necessarily the case later on. I will have a look back through my records to see if I can trace which of the trailers was marked to work with X331 JFR.
Thanks Lee. Reason I ask is that on the following photo you can see some markings about 2/3rds along the trailer - looking at the original, it seems to mention X331JFR and some other unreadable text.
This is one of I believe 6 Permaquip trailers First Enginnering purchased at the time to work with these vehicles. As to it's identificaton I cannot comment further as I don't believe a trailer was tied to a particular machine.
And for a reasonably modern machine such as this, with presumably low engine hours for its age (which roadrailers tend to have), far far more than eight grand!

I have seen two other photos of this trailer.

Just noticed that there's a little trailer on the back of the lorry - does anyone know if it has a seperate ID?

This vehicle was very tricky to identify, on the side visible from my passing train it appeared to only carry the fleet number '06'.

We believe this is no longer registered for rail use and apparently went to South Wales and may be sold / disposed. Any more news welcome...

Indeed Nick mate - What I was trying to say is that if you can find an RRV for less than £8k, you're very lucky!

Still talking upwards of about £8k; especially if it has electronic lift and / or slew control on.

How much is a machine like this worth? has the price dropped at all?
