This was our first 38 ton 112 in April '83 shot here coupled to one of our first C/F tri-axle flats which is loaded with 25 ton of Pulp for the Mill at Beetham.
Very many apologies for such a long absence, but thank you all for the pictures and information! A real eye opener, especially seeing all those wagons and companies that seemed so common when I was younger. As a kid I wanted nothing more than to be a driver, now I’m all “growed up” I don’t know if I still do, as it’s all those Scanny 112’s, 142’s, Volvo F10/12’s and other old school wagons I wanted to drive, not so much modern drive-by-wire silent running Eco 5 plastic units!

Nice to see some of Holmans Scania’s & sorry to go a bit of topic, but, I bought a T reg ex Holmans F10 back in 1986 & that was the truck that got me on my feet as an owner driver. I’ve got a few pics of it which I’ll post if I can get them scanned.

was the reg no of that f10 cfj …t mate, they had 3 but i think the other two were s regs
Pretty sure it was mate, CFJ997T seems to ring a bell, I’ll have a look through my pictures later. It was a 240bhp with a 16 speed box, it came cheap at it jumped out of first/fifth gear, I struggled with it for about 5 trips to Spain then got it sorted by Transport Transmisions of Batley. I took the gearbox there in the back of my old Volvo 240 estate, needless to say it dragged it’s backside a little under the weight.
