It is the Sentinel Waggon 6 ton 'Tiger', Works-No.5260, Reg.No. [RS 5540] from 1924. A new generation of steam wagons was started in 1923 with Works-No.5001. They were lighter and cheaper to buy and were also known under the name Super Sentinel Waggon and Super Sentinel Tractor respectively. Writing 'Waggon' with double 'g' came from a reference to railway waggons and the English way to write it. Sentinel always wrote it that way, while Foden wrote it 'Wagon'. |
