Really excellent South Wales stuff âŚthanks DEAN âŚthat Entrees F86 loaded with carbon black tote bins is a gem âŚMy father tells me they were up and down that stretch of the M50 for the Firestone tyre plant at Wolverhampton âŚanother gem is F86 6 wheeler with a coil of Fred Bouldry âŚhe had some very early F86 units âŚcan just remember R J Browns Transcon âŚGeraint .
âkenfig billâ You liked the Entrees Volvoâs, how about the DAFâs Geraint !

Albion Clydesdale â â2
Albion Reiver
Just for Deanâs info, further to Gingerfoldâs correction, the nominally 7-ton 2-axle was the Chieftain, powered usually by Albionâs own 4-pot Diesel. The max. weight 2-axle was the Clydesdale, with Leylandâs 350 motor. The same engine powered the 3-axle job, the Reiver and the 4-axle was the Caledonian, using a Leyland 600 or 680. All fitted as standard with the superb Albion 6-speed overdrive constant-mesh gearbox.
Iâve git the tin hat on, waiting for someone with a brain to correct me.

Used to see alot of Bulwark motors about.I assume they must have been a fair size â â ?
Click page twice to read.
Bulwarks became part of the United Transport group along with the likes of Hoggs of Kilsyth/Stamps /Ancliff all of which became part of the B.E.T group.
British Electric Traction Company Limited, renamed BET plc in 1985, was a large British industrial conglomerate but this was acquired by Rentokil in 1996, and the merged company is now known as Rentokil Initial.In 1956 BET acquired a 20% interest in United Transport Company increased to 100% in 1971. United Transport continued with its freight road haulage business (Bulwark Transport Ltd), and also moved into shipping, particularly containers and tank containers.
