The photo is just how I remember the scene, apart from the vehicles which would have been Bedfords with livestock bodies when I first passed the site.

The big Roller in a Big J would have been a bit of an oddity for BRS. Any thoughts, H?

BRS seemed to like the Rolls, they had them fitted in their Scammell’s as well.

Pete.

Maybe it was a case of “try it & see” after having the Roller in the Crusaders? Most of the BRS Big Js had ■■■■■■■ 205 lumps.
Apart from 40-ish with 240 Gardners, of course!
Let’s see if he’s taking any notice!!!

So if my arithmetic is correct this will take the total Big J 240 LXB production to 80 + this claim will set the “believers” into [zb] orbit with this latest claim ! Dear oh [zb] dear !! :unamused: :open_mouth: :frowning: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:[/quote

Didn’t take him long, Chris!!!

Smart and unusual cab for Hillcrest’s Mammoth Major 8.

That pic of the Foden S24 in Slaters livery is interesting as it looks as though they had a sub contractor (G.E Lowther) working for them? :confused: I had assumed that they operated all their own fleet but presumably that wasn’t so. I did my driver training with them when they were part of the Thomas Tilling group of companies.

Pete.

Hi again,heres a few more clippings,the first was a letter sent to a magazine from Ron Chapman…a real nice interesting chap whom I met on several occasions,Cheers Bubbs, :wink:

Hi Bubbs,
Nice to see one of Kenny Graingers Commers, his yard and garage, all gone now, was a treasure trove of parts from truck spares to a brand new boxed headlamp for a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost! His relation Barry, restored a 1920’s Chevrolet in Graingers colours but I have not seen it about for 20+ years, Cheer’s Pete
