Image: © Gerald England Taken: 21 Sep 2019
This Karrier tow wagon entered service with Stockport Corporation in 1926 and was withdrawn in 1970. Karrier Motors, before becoming part of the Rootes group, were based in Huddersfield. YM 9410 was bought by Stockport as a petrol tanker from Shell and converted for use as tow wagon. It has no front brakes, the rear brakes are quite weak and the clutch is either "in" or "out" so the vehicles rarely leaves the Greater Manchester Museum of Transport.
