Micky Boy, I think you are referring to the Scammell Scarab.

Put "British Rail 3 Wheel Lorry" into Google and see what you get.

I think I am right in saying that the Scammel Scarab was the first articulated lorry. it was used extensively by British railways and a great deal of them were used by brewery's, Watneys certainly had them.
