Component salvage - Gardner 6HLXB
Just in case anyone was wondering what a Gardner 6HLXB looked like, well, here's your chance. This one was removed in typically grimy state, from a long stored Ulsterbus Bristol RE which we dismantled recently. The rear axle went to repair an ex Crosville RE (once preserved but now owned by travellers) and the gearbox is to be used to re-equip a Trent example. As yet, the quite fit engine is un-spoken for. The vast majority of the engines from this source are one big black oily blob, which I suppose speaks well for their reliability as no one has had to mine their way through the grime to fix ewt!
