How about this old 'un on her way home up Beattock,driver will be glad when he’s parked up no doubt.Nice load though.
Mind you she might be a bit too modern for some of you old BRS men 
hiya,
Chris, i’m glad your bringing some normality back to this thread, can’t remember what the name was for the 8 legged Albion, tell me.if it had been on solid tyres i might have known, and no i’m not that ancient, bet old Norm knows, but thats what i call a proper wagon.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Was the eight wheeler Albion the Caledonian. The six was a Reiver,four a Clydesdale. I could be wrong about the eight.There was also a Claymore,can’t remember which that was.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave caledonian rings a bell seem to remember seeing them in Dundee depot , could the claymore have been a chinese six your spot on with the 4 wheeler and 6 wheeler, fantastic motors of the day.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
Had another think, the Claymore and the Chieften were also four wheelers from different times,have got a lot of British lorry books here, will have have a browse through, haven’t looked at them for years.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave could the claymore date back to the 40s and 50s a firm i worked for in the late 50s had “the old red Albion” just doing C&D work but i seem to remember a Claymore badge on it, it was a 4 wheeler.
thanks harry long retired.
Have a heart Dave, he got the Albion right, I think old Harry is pretty good for his age, and in those days, firms would alter the vehicle to suit their needs, I knew one firm, would put Gardeners in all of his fleet, and when Scania’s first came in this country, he put one into one of them.

Here’s another Albion Caledonian on trade plates at Scotstoun,Glasgow where they were built.Same cab as the Leyland Octopus.
hiya,
Chris i can remember that bridge have passed under it many times, wonder has it still got the Albion name on it it’s a very long time since i was along that route,must be the early seventies the last time i had to go out that way, my main drop zone was Paisley.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Had a look on other sites on the pc. The Claymore was a four wheeler,with a lower looking cab,compared to the other models. The one I found was a 1961 model,similar type cab to the Dodge K series.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
thanks for the info Dave, just hope some body has a pic of a Claymore preferably in red and rust livery complete with rippled wings and the inevitable pop rivet patch like a proper working motor.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
Just been looking around again,found some earlier Claymore’s,bigger cab,also a six wheeler. Suppose like all the manufacturers,they kept the name and updated the model or replaced it with now and again.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,

Chris did you ever try starting those old ones with handles, it was ok, when you got the knack.

Never had to swing a lorry Norman but plenty of tractors and Lister diesels
