I think you are talking about a single pattern or Royal Doulton which has a Chinese theme. the Willow Pattern.

Otherwise Royal Doulton was an English (London) Company, although now part of the Irish Waterford-Wedgewood Group.

it was a joke, admittidly a poor one at that.....I figured if china invented china and then one of the biggest most recognised brands was built in england then it only fair that LR by the same token be built in china......

AFAIK Cummins and Komatsu have a joint venture. Komatsu does not own cummins.

Correct, the company I mentioned earlier was Cummins. I worked for them for almost 10 years. Komatsu and Cummins have a very close working relationship, and have developed engines together over the years, as well as them both 'badge engineering' engines for each others use. The Cummins B3.3 and the qst30 are both Komatsu engines with Cummins badges on them.

I also like isuzurovers idea about a 'C' series in a 110, but you would need to beef the suspension up a wee bit...:D

Are you sure it's TATA and not TATRA trucks Pat.

I've seen plenty of TATRA's with drill rigs etc on the back, but I've never seen a TATA truck in the same game.

The TATRA is definitely a good truck. I'd rate TATA's with Mahindra's.
