I spotted this at the entrance to my work in burton on Trent. Didn't get a chance to stop and look properly but managed to grab a pic. Looks very heavily equipped. :-)

Scorpion ballast levelling machine driven one of those many years ago, very heavy I don't know how many of them there are but a rare find. If I remember they were about £250,000 new.

Bloody hell that's expensive. I wasn't overly impressed with the trailer build quality tho. Heavy frame work and axles with small weak looking draw bar. I certainly wouldn't want to carry much weight on it.
