Nice to see an original ash tray with foden model still in tact.I have over the years obtained many hoveringham model
fodens,but never managed to find one still mounted on the ash tray.I am still trying to find a good colour photo
of the A series E R F s belonging to hoveringham.This is the only photo i have .0
That’s a long tipping trailer for a tandem axle Nigel,could have stuck another axle under that in later years if it wasn’t finished.
Cheers Dave.
Don’t know much about the trailers dave,only know they were all made by crane freuhauf.The same trailers pulled
by mostly scammell six wheel units.Dont have many pictures of the artics,shame as the yard was full of them
during my working years at hoveringham.The first scammells were all fitted with gate change gearboxes and were
a work of art to drive.Wonder what the old drivers would have made of scania opti cruse,or volvo automatic.Probably
fall to sleep at the wheel.

Only Scammell I drove Nigel,was an old wrecker at the firm I worked for,that had a gate change,it was ok,but the brakes weren’t any good on it 
.
Cheers Dave.

Think this one was kindley posted by bubbleman,early in the start of this thread.0
That looks a bit more stable with the six wheeler unit Nigel.I still wouldn’t want to get anything to stick in the front of the body.
Cheers Dave.
Here’s one that most people would never have seen, taken from the dragline cab, Hoveringham… excavating the feedstock before going to the wash plant for processing…

which on the black and white one?
yes the one with the lad hanging out of the window
Pretty sure this is an ex Hoveringham Stone tipper what with the black insulated body and colour scheme of the cab.
One taken at John Pearson’s yard a couple of weeks ago:

is this one ever at gaydon? would love to see it in the flesh
It goes to several shows - I have seen it at Gaydon - at its first appearence, it had to be moved as it caused such a hold-up with everyone looking at it!
