Great photo’s Tracey. Thanks for posting them.
Rowly, looking forward to seeing your 141 and the tilt hooked up ready to roll. What a rush that would be driving down to the M4 through Rhiwderin etc to Tredegar Park, through the tunnels up the bank and away to go. Severn Bridge here we come, hold on tight.
Regards Paul
Many thanks for the photos, Tracy. Some of the names & liveries bring back memories and I know Dave would be particularly pleased that you captured a few of his old mates.
Keep up the good work! Casey

Well done Tracey for a cracking set of photos,I have a feeling this thread has still got plenty to offer.R.I.P Dave sadly missed.
hi keith penybont market never opened after the foot and mouth it was used as a collecting centre but didnt last long it was the best market brightwells had for numbers and stock sadly missed these were taken at market
Great pictures Tracey, thanks for keeping in touch.
Anyone else remember having to lift livestock bodies on and off two or three times a week instead of just swapping trailers?
My father used a block and tackle gantry at the front to lift a cattle box off and use a jack at the back and then rest the box on two 45 gallon drums with timber blocks to have enough clearence to get out .This was first with a 20foot box and then a 25foot box and could be done ud to 3 times a day

We used to do exactly the same thing when I worked at H.C. Sadlers of Pembridge many moons ago. This was carried out before my time there on cattle boxes, but we used the same method for lifting on and off fridge boxes on four and six wheeler flats and small artic trailers. One day we’d be delivering Woodcemair out of Shobdon on a flat, the next day on the fridge box for City Meats at Cockshutt or Sun Valley in Hereford. Great days and a great boss.
