Know your ladders COMPETITION!
This is a photograph from a TL demonstration at Preston Hall in the North East of England. As tou can see there were 5 preserved Tl's, all with different ladder sets. So for those who know their Tl's can you identify the ladders and if you are very good the chassis that they sit on? I will post the bottom half of the picture at the end of the week.
Those with local knowledge will be disqualified!

....and a very good start from our australian tl expert!
3 from 4 are correct, but what about the real challenge, the fifth ladder set only partially shown in the top right corner?

Sorry John, I meant to say our 'Antipodean' Tl expert not 'Australian'! For those who have missed earlier posts, John cares for the 125' Dennis Metz in New Zealand.

Please bear in mind that it's a bit difficult to see from this far

Yes, that's better, 4 from 5 now!
However, where is the rest of the world? We can excuse our American friends as this is strictly a British/European affair. So come on 'Bonba Boy' and all of those who think that beauty lies in a new Scania ALP......

John, I wish I could have done. There are some U.S. machines in the U.K. but they all live in the south of England. I will put you out of your misery on Monday. I must say, I had hoped for a few more entrants to the 'competition'.

Yes, Rick and Mark Loudon are disqualified for having local knowledge, but even still they were not completely correct. So first prize has to go New Zealand. The 'bottoms' and the correct answer will be will posted later today.
