It would be great if there were some photos of these vehicles.
Where else did they have depots apart from Consett & Durham?
I have noticed that some vehicles have a Consett phone number, some a Durham and others a 0191 number?

hi harry
it was a Carrimore , if loaded wrongly it would dip the crossmembers and flooring down
Trailer 33 I think.allways moans about it being a heavy trailer to pull.hiya,
Yes trailer 33 what a pill i brought trailer 55 as iv’e said earlier a 55 footer from Barry Island and the following week it had been painted up and ready for work the first job i did with it was a 60 ft coke stacking escalator to South Wales remember I took a very young Harry Bolam as second man with the intention of putting the “Ls” on to gain experience when travelling back empty on the dual carriageways/ motorways the machine was built by Boltons of Castleside anyway delivered it in A1 condition and returned empty to Consett to be told to return next day and bring it back ,on being tried in the stockyard where it was to be deployed they started to send stuff up it and it broke clean in half i only needed a ten metre trailer to bring it back it was in two pieces both about 30 foot long, Harry “B” got plenty of driving experience on that job and i got plenty of kip, i don’t know if the machine ever went back again i left soon after to return to the BRS and happier days.
