Sister vehicle FBJ 13J lived on as a shunter with Pandoro in the mid 70s (ex-Ferrymasters Ireland), ending as a yard shunter at Yeadon depot. 205 ■■■■■■■ and ZF 6-speed, I think

Nice bit of history there Chris on the previous page, shame it never survived but as they say ‘you cant save them all’.

0E.Swindells & Son Ltd ■■■■■■■ powered Atkinson Mark II tractor unit with no reg plate seen here parked up in Middleton in Teesdale.

Never mind parked up MML,with both mirrors missing,near side wiper missing,lower bumper also missing,I reckon it’s been dumped!

Shame about the plastic sheet on the radiator,although being ■■■■■■■ powered,shouldn’t need to cover the radiator to achieve hot water for the heater if that is what it’s there for.

Always well turned out motors, even the ones they had working out of the docks in Liverpool pulling the tipping trailers on mill work, any body who has loaded that rice bran and soya meal out of the Central Storage opposite Canada Dock will know what a despicable hole that was! Pete

Mmmmm I don’t think it is David, it’s too tatty, looks to me like a piece of plastic that has just blown up off the road & the wind etc is holding it in place. Regards Chris

I had the privilege to be allocated one of these great stonebreakers while with Elgin transport there were 3 in the tipper fleet MSP 117 /8/9 P they had the 220 ■■■■■■■ and had Jennings sleeper conversions I just loved it …it could pull and keep up a decent speed all day and it held its own against the more modern ones in the fleet
I,ve only seen one photo from that era its on “Scottish truck photos” but if anyone has one post it up please !!!
