  I think it is a Scammell Tractor - reminds me of a blue Matchbox Pickfords one I had as a child, like this -

  There's a somewhat similar one in the National Transport Museum in Howth.

  Probably just as part of that road was being converted into dual carriageway?

  Many of these large loads traveled at night through towns and villages.I do remember in 1958 the "old Hogan Stand coming through Newbridge on its way to The Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, it had been disassembled of course.
