Another Permaquip
9 December 2007 - thanks to Ben Williams for this article
Towards the end of November another Permaquip PCT 98707 (PCT012) moved north...
Longhoughton is becoming quite the Permaquip hotspot lately. Three more arrived in the middle of November.
Personel Carriers 68805, 68806 and Canopy Trolley 98707, formerly at Wirksworth can now be found at the Longhoughton site. They were deemed to be surplus to requirements in Derbyshire so it seemed like a good opportunity to save them from the scrapman.
98707 has been purchased by Dave Shell of Northumbria Rail while the two PPCs have been bought by a private individual connected with the Aln Valley Railway project.
98707 has sadly lost its front door but it will either have a new one fabricated or provide spares for the other two machines.
More details about 98707 can be found on it's own page.
