Eric,

Graag gedaan, jongen! Robert

Hereā€™s a better (closer) image of that black & white pic of the Delcon unit. Robert

ERF-Continental:
I recently overheard that the ERF LHD 5MW was operational with operator PEETHULTRA of Malle (B)
and possibly after Coulier/Wauters operated it for the Calor-account. I have also been told that the
tanker-trailer was from WAUTERS (a daughter-company of Coulier in Hamme) but feel free to add
or correct this info.

Evening all,ā€¦just a quick oneā€¦need to do some work on the Combine`s Headerā€¦

All totally correct, then she came in as a part exchange on the deal we did with Coulier for Berliet TR280s

Never knew what became of her, because I was sent to Italy before she was soldā€¦and she had not done a lot of work at all.

Cheerio for now.

Unfortunately John (Saviem) can not confirm otherwise and the suggested ERF ā€œEuropeanā€ on its relevant thread is possibly not an NGC (7MW) but a M-series (5MW).

Thank you for that thoughtful, and valuable piece of retrospective research. I remember this exchange but couldnā€™t find it on the 7MW thread. This may save us a lot of wasted time. Much appreciated. Cheers, Robert

@DEANB on your PM (which I cannot reply directly here) I can confirm that Ets. Thibaut from StrƩe also had a 5MW ERF-tractor (bought in 1973, registration 9.B.491 and chassis 22985) next to their later 7MW ERF-drawbar (bought in 1974, registration JJ.393 and chassis 24684) which often had a MOL-trailer attached. Somewhere I have a picture.

On your question on the French ERF-drawbar I need to verify again but earlier questions on relevant threads remained unanswered till now.

I also emailed you this but good other spectators get this feedback.

Thanks for confirming that. If you find the pic can you pop it no the European thread be nice to see it with the trailer.

A calor gas 5MW.

Nice dramatic setting! Was this one operated by Estra BV as well? The number plate looks vaguely British - pity the number is indiscernable. Looking at the headlights, that might be a 3MW cab. Robert

Similar or ā€˜justā€™ another of the fleet?

Estra B.V. was founded by Piet van Es (ESTRAnsport) from Europoort-Rotterdam.

Thanks Dean for your thorough research, attached a fleet-picture

Looks more like a 5 to me. The plate says NBH566M, plus or minus a bit.

I really loved this motor from the time I first saw it on our paintshop, i was 16 at the time and had just left school , dad brought it down to clarks in Wellingborough where i was working after heā€™d painted it , to show mr clark what a proper lorry looked like and ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  someting on the lane going back out , and had to do a quick paint repair. first of many ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  it got at rushden if i remember correctly
wish mine had a 335 instead of a 220

Rushden was a Calor Transport depot, I understand. Incidentally, it was this depot from which the 7MW-cabbed ERF NGC was disposed from (see Calor thread). Robert

rushden was originally monks transport , did a lot of continental from there , even after calor, we painted quite a few from monks to calor , think thereā€™s a 110 on the calor thread. they couldnā€™t get the hang of this steel cab though , had a lot of bumps (so we were told at the time) , so they sent it off to Holland. all the new ERFā€™s etc we painted for calor were sent over from rushden

Iā€™ve found the 110 photo

Tony, have you got any more photos of the MW7 or MW5 ?

Heres a couple of others.

Love the MAT pic. Pity we canā€™t tell if it was LHD or RHD - or does someone out there know? The bottom pic is dealt with admirably by ERF-C earlier in the thread. Robert

Hi Robert
If you can blow it up enough to read the reg & or owner I may well be able to find out.
Cheers
