That’s a beaut that McMullan wagon, a prime moover complete with a rear steersman and Spardo I reckon that contraption is a step the long brackets getting hung up on the side leaving the step dangling, no bull***t.

That is an old Carlisle Reg “HH” so I wonder if had been owned by Carrs of Silloth and used to carry grain ! Just a thought. Cheers Bewick.

When taking photos and chatting to drivers I get the invite to get behind the wheel and see what I think of today’s motors, I have to refuse 'cos I can’t get up the bloody steps any way this Scania cab would be ok, all credit to Eddie(eastleighbusman) for the photo.

Is that what they call “wheelchair friendly” Oily…? Ahum…coat…

More kinda geriatric friendly Patrick not to be confused with gerryartic which is a bendy type vehicle from Germany

0cairnsmore of carsphairn today ,no Scanias allowed without a towing eye fitted

Now now Dan’l no need for the snide remarks just because you’d have to do three trips with the Foden on the same job and then have to handball every bag off into a wheel barrow ! Cheers Denz’l. PS All Scanias have towing eyes on them because in the unlikely event that they do fail to proceed they are worth recovering whereas the reason that Foden/DAF’s don’t have a towing eye is that they aren’t worth recovering so they are usually cut up where they are and thrown into a scrap skip !

I always reckoned that it’s a standard feature on a Scania, as they’ve got this nasty habit of breaking down all the time, it’s more unlikely that they’ll finish the job start to finish… Speaking from experience…

Is Metcalfe entering a new market? Tidy unit though, although some on here prefer a Scania for some reason…

Does that mean that you’re going to be busy polishing the alloy wheels this weekend Dan?

Maybe it was sold to a LHD market and being brought back to the UK many years later? The other day a Scammell Contractor that was in the fleet of Kern of Linz since new, was bought by someone in the UK, so I suspect it will be on the scene with a UK reg.in good time.

Looks indeed like the GDST, the “heavy haulage” arena I reckon.
