Be brave,…be very brave, Dave !
" Leyland 600 " refers to the (then) owner of the E.R.F. 4 wheeler .
He is a member of TNUK.

And ,…no,…I havent been drinking any of "C.G." s home-brew Rhubarb Wine. !

Cheers, ( hic !! ) , cattle wagon man.

cattle wagon man:
" Happy Wanderer ", a 1954 Atkinson, owned by Colin Bateman from Aspatria .
" Leyland 600 " `s E.R.F. is parked alongside, at the Kirkby Stephen Rally , a few years ago.

Are those long wooden crates to be used to safely transport " ■■■■■■■■ Gill " s home-grown rhubarb to Wigton Market ? :unamused: :laughing: " Mr. Bewick " would say that " C. G. " feeds the rhubarb plenty of fertilizer` .

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

You convienently ommited the word " Verbal" before “fertilizer” CWM, you bottler,speak the truth and shame the devil !! Cheers Dennis.

And…tonight…“.Mr. Bewick” finds the missing word.

I am too kind to some people. .

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

My apologies CWM,I am not familiar with all the TNUK members on here.On closer inspection of the post in question I can see where it refers to him as the driver.

After a very wet winter, itll take a hot summer to dry the "gear" before it can be smoked ! :confused: :arrow_right: The best place for that is to the sawdust yard` at Lockerbie .

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

[bewick]

“CG” dosen’t have any problem lighting his “gear”,he uses a Gaz blow torch to light his,and the mixture of Gaz and “gear” makes for a better trip,Fiat Uno !! more like a Trabant on a single cylinder Bewick.

hiya,
Rhubarb wine when well produced is capable of blowing ones socks off.
thanks harry, long retired.

[cattle_wagon_man]

Hi " C.G. " ,
Thanks for the offer to the Founders Reserve tasting of your home-brew Rhubarb Wine.
I would decline the offer though, as your area is too close to the radioactive fall out from Sellafield.
One glass of that concoction,…and I`d be luminious/delirious, - or both.

Cheers, ( hic !!.. burrrrp !! ), cattle wagon man.

I now await the decline in offer from Mr Bewick Surely, Bewick would love to take the offer up

Some Armstrong of Longtown tackle on the move. So come on you ■■■■■■■■ fullas get pictures posted and less arguing about rhubarb an wine OKAY. Eddie.

[dave_the_renegade]

Hi Eddie,
Nice to see your excellent photo’s of some of Armstrong’s fleet.They have a nice looking fleet.We see some of theirs down this way.I have seen them picking up barley bulls from the farm near where I live.
Cheers Dave.

[erfguy]

Hello Dave. Aye they get all over the 143 was taken at Lairg sheep sales one of the Armstrong family moved up there and handled the work up that end for a while. When I was on distance I have seen them in Devon. As you say a nice fleet and well looked after I like their Renaults. Don’t tell anybody but I don’t like them Scanny things well over rated in my opinion. Eddie.

[dave_the_renegade]

Hi Eddie,
There are a lot of firms buying Renault Premiums,they are a lot cheaper than most of the other makes available.I read somewhere that they have a new model imminent t,that will replace the Magnum and the Premium.
The only drawback is that a lot of firms don’t paint wagons anymore because of costs.I will soon be white lorry man.
Cheers Dave.

Hello Eddie

Excellent photos marra.

That photo of the Foden Alpha in the Gretna livery must be a good few years old as I know they don’t run that one anymore.
Armstrong`s now only have one Foden Alpha tractor unit, and have recently sold on all the Foden Alpha rigids they had

Sorry for any arguments about the wine project!

Kindest regards

[cumbrian_gill]

A few more Armstrongs
