Should anyone attend Hargreaves next week, look for the anonymous Pandrol Fastclipper which arrived yesterday and doesn't look like it's been used for a long time as its wheels are very rusty. This may be machine number 41 according to a sticky label but this number isn't listed on site. The receptionist kindly tried to find an identity and where it had come from for me, but to no avail.

This Pandrol machine is not a new arrival, as it was in the yard on 16/3/26 as well, and I meant to inquire as to its identity at the time, but forgot. It is also notable that it has stickers with either Chinese or Japanese script on them, which may or may not have relevance. The only Pandrol Fastclipper on the site that does not have a builders number is 909128 / 152935 which has not been seen since 2021, so maybe it is this machine ?

Hi Roger. Thanks for your reply. I was told it had just arrived for next week's open day but obviously not! Let's hope someone solves the mystery of its identity.

Regards

Andrew
