I been reading these posts about people like myself posting modern photos and I think its about time I put my agruement 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 ■■

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.
Hello CWM
I might just come along to that marra
Anyway, I don’t need to break my cover you yourself as you spotted me at the Truck Show at Carlisle, remember ?
Leyland600:
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.

Hiya L600, Thanks for the reply, as I said to Bewick I was maybe a bit quick to jump, and took it the wrong way, so no problem mate!
Do you remember the driver’s name, it maybe was my Dad on his first trip to that drop, who knows?
I remember the Albion getting stuck on “Doctors” one night, usual crack it wouldn’t pull , Dad pulled on the old ratchet handbrake which failed and it rolled back, how he managed to steer it back down safely without power steering that night I don’t know, luckily nobody was following.
By coincidence, 40yrs later I had the same problem, same place, with a Dutch tilt that I was pulling, the maintenance and the brakes left a lot to be desired, I did manage to miss the house at the bottom though …History repeating to the next generation.
Do you remember any more of GH’s drivers, I rember a guy called Les on the old square cab ERF, and a Jimmy on a Seddon artic, that’s about all as I was only a nipper in the 60s.
I been reading these posts about people like myself posting modern photos and I think its about time I put my agreement across

I agree with Nelly, it is the OLD TIME LORRIES FORUM, which is self explanatory…end of! and there is another dedicated photo forum, that was the point I was making, let’s have a vote among the regular posters to the ■■■■■■■■ thread, old stuff starting at 10yrs old I say.
If I want to see modern stuff I’ll look on the M6!
Phew !! " 10 years old " and over .
Right - ho , Captain. Full Steam Ahead
This B.M.C. Laird bears a H reg., making it 1969/1970 when pressed into service.
It was owned by Vic Simpson from nearby Brough , and it is photographed entering Newbiggin-on-Lune ,
during the annual Kirkby Stephen & Brough Easter Weekend Rally a few years ago.
That’s more like it Tom, got any more old b+w pics like that AEC, what about Haytons that me and Leyland600 were on about, or Bothwick Blencogo. or any old Silloth motors maybe?
As has already been mentioned on here, the origins of Kendal-based family firm of G.B. Burrow & Son can be traced back
to 1851 ! The proud current owners are the seventh generation of the Burrow family.
Not too far back for you , eh , robroy ?
This LeylandDAF had recently been retired from work duties when I photographed it last year, - the same day as I took the
photo of their Mercedes.
Cheers , cattle wagon man.
P.S. robroy ,- if youve had a bad day` ,… then switch the computer OFF.
