"Heavy Haulage through the years"

LR Man:
Taken at the Zanussi factory in Italy, Fiat?

Cracking footage mate, cheers! :wink: Aye, that would be a Fiat 682, but I might be wrong… as usual… Here’s how it would have sounded: youtube.com/watch?v=Jbnd–xevb4

Trailer might have been a product of… erm… not Cometto, but the other one… erm… no not De Angelis… erm… honestly, it’s on the tip of me tongue…

That sounded great! Here is another one, I think this was in Bologna.

Difficult to take a decision concerning the exact model of these Fiats (619, 680, 682,…), but here’s a 619 dragging the same kind of load.

Old European heavies

Some more…

That tall one with the Chaudiere Bouellat sign on the back. When was that do you think, Fergie? I see the international STOP sign is in English, but before the international red octogon.

I think you are right, an American import I think, but I remember when the English word at a junction was HALT. :unamused: :laughing:

I reckon Henry’s right Patrick that was the later raised cab,with the different grill etc.

Brackmills had the original flat cab roof.

Good day all good to see you have all been busy while I have been away,we have arrived home a couple of weeks earlier than expected due to a medical issue but all ok now.
We took a few photos not as many as would have liked have but the roads in the north are at present inundated with multi trailer side tipper combinations grossing up to 170tonns hauling iron ore from small mines that have opened over the last few years we decided that staying off the main highways was a much better plan anyhow we did manage to capture the biggest rubber tired earth moving machine I have seen to date.

Dig

Double click will zoom it a little closer.

Seen on the D 951 from Bellac towards Angouleme yesterday:

This was heavy haulage in my younger days, My Grandad drove this Scammell & I had many a ride in it as a young lad, I enjoyed every minute of my travels with him. He was King Of The Road in my book, Of course he started his haulage career driving Steam Traction Engines on long distant work, Regards Larry.
