Hiya,heres todays offering,Cheers Bubbs, 
Good black and white pic of Van Hee’s Scania 112 B639 ENL Bubbs, this was new to Alan Walton a lovely bloke and mate, I was fortunate to drive it for a period when Alan had (unfortunately for him) had a slip at work and broke his ankle. These 112’s were superb at the time and I believe better than the later models. Here is a colour pic below of the same motor possibly when I drove it and parked at Norman’s café at Brotherton on the A1. Thanks for the memory Franky.

ally body they’ve usually enough outwards facing dents for a
few dozen extra shovel loads of payload.

Hiya,
Larry, would it be tidy enough to enhance a preservation job,
if it’s as straight as the photo shows it would look good on a
restoration job of the right time period and of course it would
never get loaded so no problem there, just a thought.
thanks harry, long retired.
Well its for sale if anyone wants it, But thats all it would be good for, Its defo wafer thin allover but as you say It wouldnt be getting loaded, Regards Larry.
This Foden artic unit, 8271 KD, was for many years owned by a long time friend of mine, Ron Smith (RIP).
As far as I can remember,his main source of work was containers from Garston Docks. Ron eventually
bought a Mercedes Benz artic unit for his regular work, but did not dispose of the Foden. I have an idea
that the Foden is still with us somewhere.
Ron Smith was a founder member of Wigan & District Model Railway Society,and that is where I first met
him when I became a member in 1974. His other great interest was his 1970 Volkswagen Caravanette
in which he and his wife used for weekends away, and also holidays, some times going abroad in it.
Sadly, Ron passed away a few years ago, and his fellow VW caravanette colleagues quickly adapted his
beloved Volkswagen Caravanette in order to carry Ron on his last journey,on the day of his funeral.
Rest In Peace Ron. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.

It looks like the 4th one is a Berrisford’s Foden and the 7th and 9th Volvos belong to Thor Transport from Stoke.

Cracking pics as always Bubbs.
Am I right in saying, that the Simon int F88 went on to see further ME service with Radclive ?
