thanks Dennis , I saw you posted a picture of little scania day cab , was that guy happy with her ,i see you said he was a day man , was this local or shunting ?
That wagon looked very clean .
It would be this motor “Jakey”,it came new in March '83 and we ran it on double shift,nights to Daventry and back and then mainly to south lancs and Manchester areas on days.Although in this particular shot it had been up to the Task trailer plant at ■■■■■■■■■■■ to collect 3 new trailers for us.When it finnished on double shift it just ran about on local work tipping and loading trailers,it was a nice reliable motor all the time we had it though,I can’t re-call it ever letting us down.
No, it always ran on days and nights out of the Milnthorpe depot,plus we would never have sent it away on an overnight,it was bad enough having the drivers sleep in bunks ! But dossing over the bonnet on a board,no way !! Cheers Dennis.

Thanks Dennis , it looked a great truck for a blind side reverse .
Here’s a shot of the day cab stood at Nestles RDC at Warrington with some of the distance motors,we must have been busy that day because a Milnthorpe shunter is on the day cab,and he rarely,if ever,left the Paper Mill in Milthorpe.

Was wandering round a old scrapyard in Hertfordshire one im told is somewhat famous ,and was taking some pics of the old trucks in there . i believe this firm W Smith was also in the area .
