Hi kr 79,
Russel of Bathgate owned a Scania 110 8 wheeler high-sided tipper.
I think the reg. no. was HNS 319 N, which would be Aug. 1974 - July 1975.

Hope this is of help to you.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Hi again,CWM was dead right about Russells having HNS 319N and Reids had that one too,please excuse the blurred shots ,not taken by myself but a poor shot is better than nothing,Cheers Bubbs, :wink:

Cheerio for now.

Well it’s an old Cheshire no. plate Roy so it was probably registered by Fodens when it was built,all my Great Grandads Foden steamers had the same “M” prefix plates.Cheers Dennis P.S. “CG” will be on to-morrow having us believe he has spotted it travelling through Waverton under it’s own power eh! :wink: :confused:PPS,If he’s full of Rubarb wine he’ll also swear it was in “fast eddies” livery as well. :blush: :blush:
