Excellent pics once again MOC, brilliant. Looks they`re set to do a few miles!! 
A question for those in the know, what would have been the capacity of that belly tank on the the bottom pic. Maybe its the colour or the picture angle but it looks HUGE!! 
More pics please Mr MOC

What a great pic with the hose sticking out the window great
Im sorry Iāve not got any pictures & haveānt seen Steve in years. The pictures of its sister are on here somewhere it became a 6 wheeler, a guy with an Italian name had it IIRC. I didānt know Him though. I knew Steve well & used to see Him most trips. It went like a train but had an air con box in the cab sat near the passenger seat which was odd, mine had the hump in the cab roof.
Good way to make money back then flogging diesel to The Yugos when the war was on, cashed in for a few trips I did but donāt tell The UN
Some great photos on this thread. I loved My Transcon it was ace, loads of room, fast as ā ā ā ā ā good on fuel what more could you need, well brakes I supposeā¦

It was a 320 when I had it, it visited ā ā ā ā ā ā ā too & It did go like a stink afterwards, Iām ā ā ā ā ā ā if I know why it was Toad Hall on that picture as it was Toad Hall 2, thats nearly at the end of its life in that picture, well its life with Me as it went to Russia to finish off. I had 1 no FWC 177Y too but donāt have any photos, it was a 370 LWB one, it was a proper monster but sadly got smashed up in our yard & went to Walsh & Dearden as a breaker. Would love to see a picture of it, It belonged to Don Alexander so as you can imagine was run in by the time I got itā¦
