Filling some gaps, the two at the top are 127 models, lighter end of the range 4 tonners judging by the width of the tyres. The last one, Ushers, is a 126, the bonnetted version of the same model.

I actually worked on that little tanker in 1970, it belonged at the time to a couple of drivers on Duckhams, I sorted out a charging fault for them. It’s actually a 1937 but looks older because of the standard all ali Shell pet regs cab that was used on all sorts of their motors. It led to me buying my 127, as they’d been about to buy it when they got a crack at the tanker, and being tanker drivers they preferred it, and passed the details of mine to me. I’d caught the bug through working on theirs so bought mine, the rest is history. The tanker when they had it came off a nursery where it’d been used for watering, was new to Shell and was to be restored in the original livery, but for whatever reason the guys sold it on, it got painted in the orange livery of a timber merchant but eventually ended up in it’s original colours and last time I saw it was in a museum.

Looks like it mate but its a long time since, it was the first engine I worked on, apprentice on my own, it did head gaskets for fun. Les.

[lespullan]

This one from Australia looks a bit of a beast, but what engine’s in it, by the look of the exhaust size its not very big. Les.

Correct me if I’m wrong would this be one of the famed “Snowcats” that Forth and Caledonian ran or is it a slightly different model ? Cheers Bewick.

[lespullan]

No idea Dennis but looking very cat like, cabs made by Alexander coachworks, I presume Falkirk. Les.

You’re right Dennis, it’s an Albion Snowcat, the first ever lorry I remember going in with my Dad
