I know these colours but cant remember who/where
It’s an ex-Basset Roadways unit but they are 2 tone blue
its rather similar to Bewick transport’ I don’t think its his ,but I suspect he may know .
Carnation?
what about Oldhams at Barford?
nah, dirty brown was theirs
In the 1960/1970`s , there was a family-owned livestock dealership who operated Foden tractor units with a similar
livery. They were called J. & J. Forster , and they had farms near Wigan and St. Helens , and also a slaughterhouse in Wigan.
The Fodens pulled step-framed semi trailers , the earlier ones had containers made by ( Thornes ? ) and then Williams.
Their last double-deck cattle trailer was of Houghton-Parkhouse manufacture.
I am unable to quote the exact cab design model nos., but perhaps someone might now remember more.
As far as I know , the family were running a Scania and drawbar , - with a similar livery to the Fodens.
The only other haulier with a similar colour scheme was Wm. Nicol , of Coatbridge , Scotland…
They used to transport long lengths of steel pipes.
I hope this is of some help.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
