Some good pictures there mate!! Didn’t know W M Armstrong put people through the YDS when it was about. Ever thought about going onto the artics?? Not a bad truck to start out on either, nothing like a old scania to wake you up on an early morning

Ahh the huge one in London? I did a smaller one to Kent.
It was from Liverpool to Goodwood racecourse, a Magnum and tandem low loader, and an FM 8-wheeler and a Daf 45 I believe, not got it to hand at the moment. When I looked through it I recognised the livery (no pun intended
) from this thread.
