Hello CWM

Many thanks for that excellent photo marra

Yes, the bumper does need a good sand down and a repaint!

If I’m not mistaken, that looks like an ex TTX Transport lorry?

There are plenty of Alphas still working in London, proving they’re worth investing in exhaust filters (Euro 4 spec in the LEZ remember). Several ex Keltbray and SJK wagons running around the A12 and A13.

Not sure mate, many of the older wagons in London have no signwriting but ex SJK wagons are a giveaway because of their purple paintwork. Likewise, there are several brown Alphas around-ex Henry Streeter.

I suspect that London Waste don’t have any of them now but they had a few gas powered Alpha cabs at one point

Think they where featured in Trucking back in 2003

Love the livery on the Tweddall Alpha. Sure I’ve got a Commercial Motor with that featured in.

Think it was maybe featured this year?

That LTS Alpha looks like it used to belong to TTX Transport?

Bought this 2 weeks ago, with a 400 CAT Engine with broken crank.

2 weeks later, new engine, shotblasted body, straightened bumper, new step and a nice shiny paint job - Unrecognisable!

Going for signwriting tomorrow.

Hello Foden450

Excellent photos marra. Manys

What a transformation, you’ve certainly worked very hard on that Alpha!

Would you please post some photos of the truck when you’ve had the signwriting please as I’d love to see the finished outcome!

Kindest regards

Thanks CG.

As requested here’s a pic with the signwriting done. Nothing too fancy, but just finishes it off nicely in my opinion.

Needs to start earning her keep now! :smiley:

Hello Foden 450

Excellent photo marra. Many thanks for posting that

That livery looks great on the Alpha. And your right, it finishes off the truck nicely

Do you run a big fleet or is it just a one truck operation?
