Aye I’ve found a couple in the Old North East section with Marinas on…I pased them on to a mate who’s a big Marina nut & he was well impressed 
That’s a beauty that one…all those FE Victors & stuff…takes me back to when I was a nipper seeing the brand new Vivas & Victors etc. getting delivered to Adams & Gibbon in morpeth

I think Tibbet and Britain got involved when it was still Silcock Express anyone got any pics of them when they were Silcock & Collins they ran some Albion wagon and drags in the 60’s Green and Yellow i think how about some Cartansport BRS or Furness & Parker
When i was a sprogg my dad (george Bell) or dinger as he was also known drove these trucks.I started going with dad when i was 4 or 5.I can still remember the rear exiting gear stick on the Albion.Before that he worked for progressive and Frank hayes.Those were great day,s today is boring.I still have many pictures of Silcock days, mainly the Lawford Heath site.He loved that Foden and sometimes we drove Dodges, a Scania 85 and a Magirus Deutz.Deutz is the engine for those who dont know.Im not a Trucker, ive been in the Army worked in Formula One and at Bmw here in Germany but i still love the memories and the old days.My dad got involved with the Scotland run, Bmw,s on the trailer, he loved that and the dollars were very good.Im a car nut and i remember the old simcas,Chryslers, Talbots etc etc.I remember dad getting a brand new Ford d series turbo we hauled jags fords triumphs and dad got involved in photo shoot with that truck that ended up in a book.I was truck mad in those days and i still have soft spot today.I wonder if anybody here remembers dad.The drivers all used to meet at the ryton bridge hotel on the 45 and converse.I got my coke and crisps and they had great times.dad taught me to drive in the compound at bell green i was twelve and it was in a capri.When we had nights out i was in the back of a car and in the cab, no sleepers in those days.I hope you enjoyes my little article.Theres loads more if anybody is interested
Regards.Dinger junior.

A Fuego on a 7 car carrier, someone would have been proud of both of those motors.
Reliants were known as puddle jumpers for the same reason you needed an extra ramp
