I’ve been in their yard once to load a CAT dumptruck, lads who helped me were a nice bunch, but the guv… Rightly mr. Grumpy I reckon…
Didn’t take pics then, because of the terrible weather, was really pouring down like, but they’ve got a ERF using as a shunter, thought it was a EC11… anyone got pics of that?

Cheers, Patrick

Just going off topic now, this was my form of transport back in the day, this triumph 350 twin had the bathtubs etc fitted. I stripped it down rebuilt the engine and painted it in my bedroom, my mum was not too happy lol.the only part I couldn’t source were the brackets for the seat to swing,so I used a bunji strap until the parts arrived. Sorry it’s not lorry related but it’s transport lol.
