Hi , just spotted this and have had a wee dig into my photos.
I have been fortunate to be given a lot of pictures of timber trucks from around my home area of Argyll.
These are some of the older trucks and i will post some of my own pictures of the newer ones again.
Sorry for so many lol.
My first Timber job was with Eddie MacGinty in Lochgilphead.
I was recently talking to him and managed to get some of the many pictures of his old trucks.
My first Artic , A84 LSB . a 16,321 thought i was king of the road with this 
.
JGG978Y another 321 sadly written off on the M74.

Jst get all over the place with their mobile loaders, on that ship I posted and others I’ve been on since they have loaded/unloaded us in places ranging from Inverness to Youghal, Londonderry to Swansea, Kyle of Lochalsh to Plymouth. That ship would not pass her ‘MOT’ unless the Irish owner would spend some money on her, so she has gone looking for new owners somewhere they aint fussed about condition.

Hi Dingo I think that Albion o Mcnab’s was featured in an advert either for Albion or the crane maker. Brilliant photos Macginty’s were smart motors it was a nice colour scheme the big Foden that did the loading was a real butch machine.Eddie.
Heres a couple of Peter Gilbertsons 580 in the snow. Dan
Nice Photos D/S Keep them rolling, Regards Larry.
