Yesterday, my nephew and I went to a Model Railway Exhibition at Merchant Taylors School in Crosby, Merseyside.
This dockside layout depicting a flour mill and a Scania artic caught my eye. The layout is called “Canada Street”,
and the guidebook describes the flour mills as representative of those at Gloucester and Liverpool docks.
These 2 pictures may be of particular interest to Gingerfold and Flourpower. Regards, Ray Smyth.
Nice pics Ray.

Daz, looks like one of your mate again.
Kane haulage Volvo Hi Dean you are spoiling me again with more get photos with tipper companys which are based from my neck of the woods
Andy kane haulage is based in ST Albans and they no longer run Volvos any more he has replaced the fleet back to mans again going back from70s 80s
and sadley my mate Richard paul childs from watford with the blue mans tippers passed aways this year and closed his company down very sad news
by the way Dean would Paul have any London tipper company of Routemans Maggies Dafs etc etc keep up the great work guys. All the very best, Regards Daz
Hello Daz, might be a bit thin on the ground with London companies chap ! Those muck away tippers
you like tend to stay on the whole pretty local. So unless Paul was driving around the M25 i doubt it. But i
may have something somewhere.

The Barlow and Hodgkinson Foden looks well worked like all of their fleet, I wonder how much diesel is stored in reserve in cans either under the tank or in the cab? : I think their tankers usually tied spare fuel cans onto the catwalk but none is visible! Rigsby will know. Having said that, I used to carry five gallons of derv and a gallon of oil in the cab when I ran down to St Clears with tarmac as a full tank wouldn’t quite do the journey!
I had the chassis rails boarded out on my tank. Only took half an hour after the boss had gone home and solved my storage problems at a stroke but the old man kept nagging about where his two sheets of 18mm plywood had disappeared to!
Yes they’re still going as far as I know. They are very selective on where they go, tending to keep in the southern half of the country. Big AEC users for many years, having some of the last Mandators to be registered. There is a family connection between Jonathan Jempson and Mike Beer, cousins IIRC.
Hello DeanB, looks like I may have been the same show as Paul, I, and my ex wife took these at a truck/farm shoe in Cornwall in 1992, I know she took at least one because I am in the photo of the ECC Comet to the left. Regards, Mizzo.
