Low loader track machine

Post by Donkey »

Bit of a long shot I realise but...............

Travelling to work this morning heading north up the M5 around 6:50am, just gone past junction 18 and there was what appeared to be a grubby yellow track machine on an Allelys low loader. Was difficult to get a good view while driving safely!
Seemed to have a number something like TM 9300000403-1. Looked like it was one end of a multi-unit piece of plant. Don't remember seeing any manufacturer name on it.
(Can't find a picture of anything like it on a quick search, will try again later)
Anyone got an idea what it could have been?

Not sure how accurate that the number is. Having had another look, it looked a bit like a cross between http://bristol-rail.co.uk/wiki/TDB968006 and http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevin_r_boyd/2441954177/

Very much looking like a grubby yellow box on wheels. Don't remember seeing anything on the sides, no name or equipment, or anything between the bogies.
