well, yeah sort of. We used to have 14litre Cummins engines in the trucks. (so, yeah 14 times bigger than your shopping trolley)
They loved diesel. It was nothing to burn hundreds of litres per day. They worked hard though. Its hard yakka dragging 45 ton uphill.
Great Jacobs brakes though. I used to love listening to them get a good crackle on coming downhill. Spent a lot of time in the passengers seat learning how to use a road ranger gearbox, cart stock and spread metal. Great fun for a young fella.
No wonder I wasn't interested in school!!
