i’ll get some considering my dads a tarmacer when i next go working with him i’ll get some photies of some smart tippers.Sorry bud but this topic from here onin is dedicated to the ‘khaki’ cause. Plenty of other threads to drop tipper pics in.
Maybe a mod could change the thread title to ‘(khaki) Tarmac tippers’ ?
You can edit it yourself Bonkey.Just go to your first post and press edit,you can add to the title or whatever.

That’s a belter mate!You with me on the khaki aspect?
I think it should be open to all Tarmac Tippers (I’ll post some black ones soon !), as it keeps the tread alive and brings in alot of variety, and keeps it on the front of Trucknet, its come along alot in the last few months by doing this …
Sorry TARMAC mate; not meaning to rock the boat but just trying to differentiate the khakis from the more bland (IMO) corporate livery/logo that Tarmac brought in in '96.
Put it this way, will we be enthusing about the Volvos and Scanias painted in todays colours in 40 years the same we do over the Reivers, AECs, Routemans etc in the kahaki livery? I think not somehow.
I mean, I know back then that quite a lot of people thought the khaki colourscheme was drab and insipid but not me! 
I actually thought it was rather smart and befitted the blackstuff company rather well.
If you think we should carry on the way it is the now, then we shall do so, but please, keep digging for the khakis TARMAC. (And lads.)

They were old quarry pictures from the 50’s, this was the only khaki truck…
Thats got to be the winner.
A pre khaki picture just for BD, this is Ettingshall Garage, 1950’s…needless to say, I’ll post up anything interesting i find for you all…
Many thanks TARMAC, keep 'em coming lad!
Few more from me:
Q for TARMAC here: Have a few pics of wagons with the name ‘Haulmac’ on them in a similat typeface as the original Tarmac lettering; are they an offshoot company? Couple of pics here and more on request.
Pic of a couple of B series ERFs from the Horrocksford Lime Works that became the current working Tarmac quarry at Clitheroe:
Finally a pic of a Merc coming out of said Citheroe quarry with the entrance board to the left:
Some classy shots in there Kelvin…Never seen the Haulmac ones, think it was just another haulier using a similar name, as the logo is made up of their initials too, I have never come accross the name in publications…
