ERF-Continental:
[zb] anorak…and other ‘general’ ERF-experts
I assume (will try to verify) that assembly of the Belgian-ERF ended the moment the 7MW
equivalent to NG-series came on the market early 1972 and were fully assembled in UK to
my opinion.
3300John might know something about this, having been involved with the building of the MW cabs. The ones for CKD export may have been fitted to some sort of carriage frame, to withstand the long journey without damage. If they were, and this stopped after the introduction of the 7MW, then it would suggest that all cabs of the later type went onto Sandbach-assembled chassis.
ERF-Continental:
Been to fast…eager for 2014 perhaps…The trips with ERF-B-series to/from Germany started since the
introduction of the sleeper-version in 1977. Just to be correct.
Given the drivers’ dislike of the MW cabs mentioned in the CM article, how did that B series compare to the Continental makes of the time, through Belgian eyes- Scania 111, Berliet TR280, MAN 16.280 etc?
