Hi
It was good to see the photo of the Consett Iron Co AEC TR1, I served my time up there in the early to mid 60’s, these tractors were used in the works and between sites in Consett, they were originally used on the Jarrow run before my time.One of the jobs whilst I was there was the ‘hot pot’ two tractors coupled together pulled a special trailer which carried red hot slabs they pulled it up the hill into Consett then uncoupled the first tractor just off Front Street; the second tractor then continued its journey into the Hownsgill Plate Mill. They were always double manned as the second man had thge emergency ratchet handbrake in his side of the cab. They were replaced on the Jarrow run by AEC’s with Park Royal and Ergomatic tilt cabs.
Have you got any more pictures of CIC vehicles?

Is that Hary Long Retired driving the 4 wheeler at the front ? Or have we found something he has not driven yet■■?

hiya,
You sure have found something i’ve never driven, nor will i ever stupid bleedin things the Belgians and Frenchies have the right idea eat the the horrible things, and they have cost me a lot of money over the years quite a few bob today even, and even the gadgies hat looks stupid whats wrong with a cap proper drivers headgear when accompanied with a boilersuit and steelies.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
I think the “gadgie” as you call him looks very smart in the photo.
Is it right what you say that you were the only long distance driver at Glennys? I thought they were almost all on nationwide work…

hiya,
Can’t recall saying i was the only Glenny driver doing journey work, nor would i because nothing was further from the truth it would be the mid 70s when i did my bit at Island garage the only depot at that time and i can never remember there being more than 25/30 motors at that time the majorority of whiich were "down/up the road motors"there was a couple of drivers on artics who stuck round the doors as well as the tippers they seemed to stay localish but for the most us it was nearly always Brum or O’er the Border any South Wales was usually transhipped onto the “drop down car transporters” to get the car men down loaded and handy for Oxford and a load of cars back to the North East usually Marina’s in those days, but please Twinsplitter point me in the direction of where i said i was the only driver doing distance work i am aware i’m losing my marbles but cannot remember making such a stupid remark, the lads i mainly ran with on general haulage were my good friend to this day Brian Backhouse others were Gerry Irving, Dave and Ronnie Johnson Dave “Dickie Mint” Coxon these lads i ran with on a regular basis and we used the same digs in Dudley “Roger’s”.
thanks harry long retired.

hiya,
What you see with me me is what you gets ie proper name and certainly nothing to prove, still waiting to see where i made the statement i was the only driver at Glenny’s doing distance work away man stand up and be counted.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry long distance retired,

I cannot remember you despite you giving out your full name■■?
Your previous post said, with you “what you see is what you get”.
I can imagine that combined with your proper headgear drivers cap, boiler suit and steelies it speaks volumes

Thanks Bob not long retired

hiya,
Did’nt stand out in a crowd Bob, but would certainly be the one not wearing a silly cap or boilersuit and thankfully did’nt need to work there very long.
thanks harry long retired.
