Austin K4 TL

I know there has been a lot of interest in Austin K4 60' TL GXN211. this picture of it was taken in the yard at Crosby Fire station on 10/02/2010 showing it with other museum appliances. Think the bell removed for security.

The Austin TL is ex Rhyl. Originally transferred from Colchester in 1943, she saw service at A1 Rhyl upto 1967 when Rhyl recieved their new ERF 84RS/HCB-Angus/Simon SS85 HP. Transferred to Deeside where she stayed until a second ERF 84RS HP arrived in 1972. Stored at Flint for a while she was then purchased by Hawker Sidderly for use at their Broughton factory and from there to ending up at the Large Object Stores in Liverpool I lost track of her.

I am old enogh to remember this TL on the run at Rhyl and remember it at Deeside. I have a negative of it on the prom at Rhyl along side the Pump on ben fund duty. It is a cardboard negative from gratispool will try and find it and put it on here.

I'd dearly like to see that one Dave. Pump wouldn't happen to be WDM 489?
