Hello prattman
Excellent photos marra
Tom Maughan has recently retired and now owns a Ford Thames Trader, which he runs on the local rally scene
David Grierson packed up a few years ago. Prior to closing, he ran quite a few Iveco Stralis’s.
Alderson & Son’s are still going strong and run (I think) a 11 strong fleet of trucks, but most of the trucks are kept at Penrith now rather than Warcop
Tim Hill isn’t on the go any more
H & T Haulage has also since packed in.
Kindest regards

Quite agree with you Roy. It’s all very well these guys saying post pics of older lorries, not many people had camera’s as you and I both know. I have had a lot of old photo’s lent to me over the last four years,but I have virtually exhausted my supply of them. A lot of the members on here enjoy seeing the modern stuff.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave,
Some of the photographs I have posted on TNUK, I too , have kindly had them passed to me , and I always acknowledge
the original owner. But sometimes the supply dries-up , and we all like to keep our ( local ) threads alive. 
I cannot recall seeing any contributions from “nelly1972”.
Theres the well-known saying:- " Those who can; do, - and those who cant ; teach. 
Thanks for your support , Dave.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
While we all await the appearance of older photograph from “nelly1972” , here`s one from me. 
CTN 945 , a Bedford WLG 2 tonner , was the first wagon my father bought in 1946.
It was originally owned by R.Kelso from Lazonby., and fitted with one of Kelso`s home-built livestock bodies.
Sorry about the poor quality of the photograph, - but it`s better than nowt at all .
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Robroy, with regard to your response to my posting, I was not suggesting in anyway that anyone was a coward, “flate” is a word frequently used by most folk from our area in general conversation. The driver in question was someone I got on well with over the years and at the time he was not familiar with the Hull - York road and passed a comment to me as we prepared to set off back home after helping each other to load saying, “divent git ower far in front of me as I’m flate ah tek the wrang road in York”. In those days there was a camaraderie amongst drivers and we all took time to look help each other. I was aware the Albion was underpowered and made allowances, my own wagon at the time was not that fast so I would not get that far ahead at any time but I did have an advantage on the long climb up to Market Weighton. York in those days was a nightmare at evening rush hour with hundreds of bikes on every side even if you were familiar with the city through route. No offence was intended I was only illustrating an incident that occurred some 48 years or so ago when that return journey would have taken about six and a half hours.

Hello
I been reading these posts about people like myself posting modern photos and I think its about time I put my agreement across
Nelly1972, I understand where your coming from marra but although the thread is in the Old Time Lorries, Companies etc, the thread is just named: ■■■■■■■ Companies, not ■■■■■■■ Companies (Only Classic Trucks).
What’s wrong with a thread that looks at both?
I like both modern and classic and so do a lot of people on Trucknet so why not look at the best of both??
If you don’t want to see photos of modern trucks, why not simply scroll past them and find photos that do interest you?
Everyone’s tastes are different but lets just enjoy looking all photos that are posted, including modern and classic trucks!
Kindest regards

Hi,
Firstly, ■■■■■■■■ Gill, - many thanks for your straightforward reply to both “robroy” and “nelly1972” .
You have certainly nailed it correctly when you state that there is an alternative to viewing modern wagons by
( quote : " scrolling past them…" ). I had thought of typing something very similar , but I feared backlash. 
I have posted many photographs of wagons from the 1940s to the 1970s., and contributed many haulage-related stories, – not just of our family business , - but also those from hauliers of whom I knew.
I do not wish to change my format , - unless I am beaten down .
Come on now , “nelly1972” ,… whe`s thi photos , eh, lad ■■
Cheers, cattle wagon man.
To those complaining about the posting of “modern” trucks on here…
Come back in 40 years time. They’ll be old by then

A the risk of bringing down a ■■■■ storm on my 'ead I agree 100% with you “nelly72”,shots of modern,up to date, motors have about as much in common with the “period” stuff that appears on this thread as to be about as welcome as a pork chop in a synagog 
Fair do’s the new ,up to date, stuff has a place on the site by all means,but why mix it among motors and times with absolutely nothing,whatsoever,in commom with to-days “Logistics Industry”.Different motors in different times 
I will now drive up Shap fell and try “■■■■■■■ into the wind” for all my two’pennarth will matter,Cheers Bewick.
To restore the sanity on here ,…heres a Foden on parade` at Scorton ( Lancashire ) Vintage Rally ,
a few years ago.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Slowly and carefully returning to terra firma at Hethersgill Vintage Rally , Carlisle , is R.D. (Paul) Wardles 1973/4 E.R.F. 4 wheeler. Almost a homecoming ` for his beloved E.R.F.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Roberts Transport of Knighton ran a lot of those four wheeler ERF’s in the late 1960’s and early 70’s Roy.

Hi cwm, Paul’s ERF 64G and the one I had until 2011 were three chassis numbers apart, Pauls being the greyhound style chassis and mine the heavy duty deep chassis trailer model.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Hi Leyland 600,
Its a small world !! :laughing: I had noticed that both E.R.Fs. were M reg., but didnt know they were so closely related . 
Thanks for the added information.
Keep Saturday September 21 st. free…its the annual Transport Slideshowat Fletchertown. :slight_smile: Who knows,.....■■■■■■■■ Gill might evenbreak his cover` that night. 
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
Harry Bragg from Beckfoot bought a new Leyland Beaver 1st May 1950, Chassis No 501773 Reg KAO 59 ULW 4t=0c=0q. It had a Blue Spot fog lamp fitted with a blue lense in the centre of the main lense, Jake Strong from Ireby bought another Beaver KAO 346 1st Aug 1950 Chassis No 502467 ULW 4t-10c-0q. Both could often be seen standing together in Wigton Auction Mart. I can’t recall Harry having an LAD Comet, he probably did but he eventually ended up with a Super Six Albion Chieftain. ■■■■ Stamper from Dearham also bought a new Leyland Beaver, Hippo, Steer and Octopus in the 1950s. These too could be seen in Wigton Auction along with Albert Kelso’s of Lazonby Beavers rigids and eventually a Beaver artic with stepframe artic cattle container.
