AOG 638 - Birmingham
51 (AOG 638)
1935 Daimler COG5 lorry
Preserved, ex Birmingham City Transport
Wythall Transport Museum, 26 May 2025
Originally bus 638 with a double-deck body by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Works. That body was scrapped in 1947 and it was converted into a dropside lorry used for towing broken-down buses, moving shelters and other heavy equipment, and spreading grit in the winter. In this form it survived into the WMPTE era, working until 1973 and then being sold for preservation.
