Sentinel

I am slightly biased (and awating the flames (literally) from all other steam lorry owners):) But, I think that overall, the Sentinel, Especally in the S type and the Doble specials, were the best steam waggon ever made. The only things which came close, would be the Foden Speed series. Excepting the Henschel Doble's, which I know nothing about. Anyway, to get my connection to Sentinel. My dad worked on one. 8122 to be precise. And a Super too... now in Holland.

More anew, here is a scan of a drawing of the proposed 600 HP GP Sentinel. Pre-war, 3 1000 HP versions were built for the Colombian railways. This is a patent drawing that Sentinel submitted to the British government. I appoligise for the poor scan quality, but it is from a photocopy from a smallish book.
