I came across a thumbnail of these today and have blown them up a bit, there was no info with the pic, but the front bumper jogs my memory. I can’t remember if they were Anderson’s. or McKelvies, they ran steel from Ravenscraig to places like Sheffield and Brum, they were petrol Macks and boy did they power along, nothing else could live with them, the time would have been late 50s early 60s, personally I have had one come past me and the sound from the stack gave you that kinda “boy I would like a go in one of them” feeling.
This from a fading memory and I will stand corrected by anyone with more detailed knowledge of them.

These Macks belonged to P&S Contracts Glasgow, the were deisel, not petrol, I used to back load off them in the 50/60s From Beardmores at Parkead X, There wasnt any thing on the road that could keep up with them, Glasgow to Rotherham & back in one hit, They also ran a Foden or two in those days.
