Re: Past Present and in Between in Pictures
Do you know if that is the original colour in that restauration, still doesn't look right from my memory but I'm certainly not going to argue with anyone on the basis of that. ![]() ![]() Another thing is that, again my memory, I think that is unusual in being a 3 axle unit. Most of them were 2 axles, as were most of the B61s in Oz at that time. This one I believe is a left hooker but difficult to see from the picture. Another unusual feature although I do remember reading that at least one was US rather than Oz spec. The colour is still bugging me though, has anyone got genuine colour pics from the time to settle my head? ![]() ![]() One thing I would add to my previous post on these beasts. When I said they would steam past me on the A74 I should say that I was in a Scammell Highwayman with a max speed of 38 mph, ![]() ![]() ![]() Salut, David.

Re: Past Present and in Between in Pictures
I remember first seeing a couple of P+S Double/Drive Macks down in Port Talbot Steel works when I first started with BRS & my motor was a clapped out Leyland Comet with a single axle trailer. They were yellow as far as I can remember. Those things shifted!
Re: Past Present and in Between in PicturesI found these old Hull street scenes recently, enjoy..

The only red part in my memory was the front bumper, the cab yellow, mind you any time I saw them they had a good coating of road muck. oily Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn....Rabbie Burns

Re: Past Present and in Between in Pictures
That's interesting, I wonder if mine was one of those. ![]() Unlikely though, I'm pretty sure my boss, Noel Buntine, only bought new. ![]() I usually drove an artic with another 2 trailers tacked on behind but this rigid, top right, was mine for one trip with 3 trailers. I had for company the usual driver, George, who was spaced out on pills and rum most of the time. ![]() I insisted on doing all the driving. ![]() ![]() ![]() A pretty good down under melange for the rest of them too. How many can you name? Salut, David.

Re: Past Present and in Between in PicturesP & S Contracts, George Patterson & Son. They were yellow, they did run some Blue 8 Wheelers Fodens. The Macks were running above the legal length at first. Regards Larry.
Re: Past Present and in Between in Pictures![]() This Picture was put on English Macks site by Pete 359 i think he might have some more of original P&S. As far as i know they were all 6 Wheel Units,RHD and Diesel, most of there work was out of Parkhead Forge, when they finished up some Units went to Pentus Brown and the rest went to Austrailia,George Paterson went to Canada,this Picture has been taken in there Yard in Baillieston Glasgow in the 60s.

Re: Past Present and in Between in Pictures
I wonder if the first one isn't a Leyland? And you chickened out on the Government Road Train Harry. At the other end somewhere there'll be an AEC. ![]() As far as the P&S Macks go, no wonder I thought they were orange - that one looks orange to me, ish. ![]() ![]() Salut, David.

Re: Past Present and in Between in PicturesThe B-Quadruple road train of Shell's is a stylish looking beast. In 1988 their triple bottom braking systems were modified in house to stop a 50 metre, 115 tonnes, 62 wheel train in its own length without skid or axle hop at 70 km/hr. Pretty impressive.
I wonder if 4 trailers are still to the same standard. Last edited by Spardo on Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:56 pm, edited 1 time in total.
