Hiya,
I bet I could have made the Scania Vabis and pup tramp on a bit
I bet it would have shown my Octopus and pup a clean pair of
heels, dream on Harry.

Eyup Harry,I’ll bet you’d have swapped your Scania 80 with a drag for your Octopus and drag back. I were rayt sorry to see my Ford Transcontinental go and get a Scania 82 with a pup instead. :smiley:

Harry,we had this at Maltby when Hitchin depot had done with it,used it as spare wagon for drag work,more action in a tramp’s vest.We also had another like it on a “R” plate with auto box,now that was a underpowered piece of Gothenburg crap when it had a pup ont back.

That’s the one the lorry driver did before he went home. Or perhaps the one I did before moving on to the next job. :unamused: :laughing:

Lets go on holiday, Buzzer

That F88 could tell some tales, it looks as though it’s had a hard life.

Would look better wi ought all that junk attached to it, Buzzer

Rough old Leyland 4 wheeler with the unroped stillages of castings on the back, that wouldn’t be allowed nowadays, nickable offence.

Here we go, Buzzer

Thursdays, Buzzer

Thorburns from liverpool, i had forgot about them. Now that was a company with a colourful history :laughing:

Buzzer:
Thursdays, Buzzer

Just looking at those two Woolfenden Leylands reminded me that those large quarterlights opened facing forward when required. Lovely cool draft on a hot day. :smiley:

The Scottish OD with a Mandator that I met in Darwin had West Coast mirrors with large pieces of board fixed to the stays for the same effect.

Trying to figure the two Leylands, is it two trailers with one silo on or one trailer with two swan necks ■■? Looks like two tow ropes linked together, were they working in tandem ■■
