Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Which reminds me of my first road haulage wagon. It was an Albion with no model name and the overhang was enormous but over the back axle rather than the front. Made it very easy to steer with a bit of extra weight over the tail. We only discovered its origins when the brakes failed on a hill in Herefordshire. I managed to stop it on the handbrake and it was rescued into the local dealer, Prialls, I think was the name. They couldn’t find the right part to replace the faulty one and eventually solved the mystery, it was a coach chassis. :smiley:
