This thread used to be the link to Northwest Trucks on Fotopic.

Due to it going off line in 2011 all the valuable pictures and information were lost.

So if anyone want to add pictures or info of Northwest Haulage companies please add them to this thread.

Superb site, though I think it may be even better if there was an abundance of quarry tippers, particularly Tarmac vehicles.

Hi Paul, recieved your email, I will send you those pics and info on BVT very soon, also thanks for the 2 photos you sent, Have not seen them before! The photo of the Atki is HXG 442L, this was preserved and is now running a 240 gardner, owned by Graham Morris of the Steam Transport Group. If you come across anymore photos please let me know, always good to see new ones crop up.

There used to be a guy that lived opposite us (Chadderton) until the early 80's, Malcolm Taylor, run his own truck mainly out of Ireland (some tax reason) in Europe,
He's now in Oz, I am trying to get in contact with him.

Over the last five months i have been busy building a web site about haulage firms from across the North West of England.
Thanks to Truck.net i have made many new contacts, to numerous to mention, who have helped with dates,descriptions, picture's, locations etc
A special thanks also goes out to to Bubbleman!! Thanks again Marcus
The site now contains over 400 pictures and grows bigger each day with some of the latest images supplied by haulage company 'Austin Wilkinson'.



Also from today the website has a new simpler and easier to remember address http://northwesttrucks.fotopic.net/

Thanks again to all Truck.net members for your invaluable help

HI I've at last seen a picture of John Killingbeck, Its the one sitting by the heater dose anyone have a better shot of him please.
Next Question HOW many hours did he spend in his garage,???I should think there was no need for security, He must of been there all the time,
I take my hat of to him. Did he have many people working with him in the workshop.
Well done with the Northwest Truck site

John used to work quite late into the evening, but he didn't start until mid-morning. From memory, I think he had a couple of fitters working with him, and they were capable of undertaking quite major rebuilds and modifications.
