[moomooland]

ERF ‘B’ Series eight wheeler Reg No LVR 886P was powered by a Gardner 6LXB engine.

Originally registered new to the Cooperative Wholesale Society in December 1975 it was purchased secondhand by J Barrett (Haulage) Ltd whose yard at the time was located off Chew Valley Road in Greenfield Saddleworth which is where this picture was taken in August 1986.
Parked behind it is an ex Watneys Brewery Scammell Trunker Reg No YNE 845M which later became ‘Pennine Tugmaster’ in the Barrett fleet.

I think the N10 EAB114S possibly is the one my uncle bought 2nd hand ,it was new to a fuel firm from tenbury wells who didn’t keep it long before selling it to Holland’s cheese nr Nantwich who made it a sleeper cab ,my uncle was the 3rd owner ,Steve Poole a scrap merchant from stoke ran it after and then Aden Hare from fole ,it’s now in preservation.

Edit ,Henry Edwards & Co from Tenbury Wells .

Cheers Dan.

Richard Read ERF

hi Dean great shot of Caswells Atki ,and Richard Reads ERFs outside the depot ,with May hill just visable ,im surprised our ROF did not notice that !! regards Keith

Yeah that a nice pic of the Atki. I think with regard to “ROF” its probably an age thing chap !!!

I am surprised there was no comments from the Welsh boys regarding the yellow Volvo F10 of Meyer’s from Newport on page 332 as i am pretty sure we have not
had one of those on here before ■■?

HRS:
Good morning Dean,
Yes, you are right, the Daf 2300 is heading up Marlands hill towards the Civic Centre Southampton.
Before the Civic Centre was built there was a very large lake there, called, you got it, Marlands lake.
Still enjoy your postings but not very active, great N10 stuff, thanks to you both. Harvey

Thanks for confirming that Harvey. Not that many N series around probably due to the bonnet and length limits.

Hey Dean ,thanx for those brilliant Welsh motors as well as Caswells ,did not know they had Guys ! thanx again MT

cav551:
I thought that the Mandator tractor unit had a five ton front axle at one time. Many makes of unit at the time were only plated for 15tons. Also wasn’t there something about narrow and wide track front axles? AEC certainly produced more than one beam shape and stub axle set up, the same as some vehicles had Girling brakes, some Lockheed and there was definitely an AEC C spring brake which found its way onto certain Leyland models.

No pictures I’m afraid, but Alan Firmin had two Mammoth Minor units UKM 285 H and the other one was either OKN 946 or 947G driven I think by Norman Dadson. 285 was destroyed in an accident on the M6 in which the driver, Stuart was sadly killed sometime around 1978/9.

Hi I have a photo of one of the two Firmins AEC Mammoth Minors when new with the new bulk tipping trailer , I cant remember the drivers name
