This question goes out to the Transport buffs 
I briefly saw two heavy military trucks heading North Bound on the M50 earlier,
The rear one was a recent Scania Drops unit but the vehicle in front appeared to be a Mercedes Tractor unit towing a Long trailer (if I'm not mistaken).
Both were carrying what appeared to be Heavy civi coloured Plant Machinary.
My question is about the Mercedes Tractor unit, it looked relatively new, I didnt catch the reg No. but it was the usual green color with a large shiney Merc badge on the grill.
I wonder was a new Tractor unit purchased over the last while to replace the older DAF's and Renaults innthe form of this Merc??
Its interesting to note the Daf 85 was sitting on the Square of the Brugha this week with the Dennison Trailer attached. I havent seen these tractor units being used much lately and wonder are these vehicles not getting a little old now??
