Both these shots are taken at Lincoln Farm!!! “H” and Norm on a jolly----me grafting at a changeover Sunday morning in '73! Who do you reckon is the most “handsome” out of the 3 of us then?

Maybe I need a trip to Specsavers, I can only see one pic…

Mal function “Bender” sorry about that! But if you look back a page or so you will see the two Gentleman I am referring to----can’t miss them,they’ve got their booze in a black bag!!Cheers Dennis.

The bloke in that picture is uglier than me :unamused:

P S that sheet looks as if it could do with tidying up a bit :wink:

Well,it takes somebody really ugly to be worse than you pal but I’ve got to agree with you there. :laughing:
And that fly sheet wants sorting,perhaps there was no time to do it what with snap time looming and it did take a long time to swap trailers. :unamused: :laughing:

Dennis that would be after I had departed for fresh pastures and with you saying you have have contributed to my pension fund I did consider feeling guilty about my previous post but then I thought why break the habit of a lifetime :wink: if you would like to send me a top up to my pension you can do it direct as you would have to go through D H L now and it might get lost :laughing:

Cheers Johnnie

pollystag:

You’re not wrong!!! What a waste of a Westminster!
Somebody obviously spent a bit of time putting the thing together, but for what reason? - more details please!

I thought it was a Morris Oxtopus…

What a tanker…

So you see your load ahead, or maybe so you can see where you’ve been…

Is that thing ugly or what!!! :open_mouth:

Bender:

I guess underneath that is an REO speedwagon? :unamused:

i like it. :sunglasses:

Must have been a nightmare to park…

This was the prototype for the VW Transporter, it was designed by Ben Pol to move items around the VW factory and the idea caught on with the Management who decided that a commercial vehicle would be a good thing to complement the Beetle range.

You’re probably right about the chassis. This thing is so ugly it’s cute. It’s also right hand drive, so that pretty much narrows it down to Britain, South Africa or Australia/New Zealand. Those buildings have a very British look to them - was it operated here? I don’t recognise the name of the company on the side, but maybe somebody out there knows more…

It looks like one of those AEC Diesel railcars that the GWR had built in the 1940s…

Hi Chris, is there any chance that I could also use that photo for the next couple of days :smiley: .
It’s just that Tropical Cyclone Yasi is expected to reach here on Thursday and if it sees that picture of The Shunter it might want to go and tip it’s load somewhere else :wink: .

Regards Steve.

You are all a set of barstewards taking the p*** out of shunters,no wonder some were like Rottweillers - not me of course,I was always polite and helpful.

Like…“EYUP,DON’T DROP THAT BAS**** THERE”.
