Off the net,NMP
Thats a cracking shot of this earley 50s S18 Foden on 40X8 Boolas, Its a Liverpool Reg, Keep them rolling Pete, Regards Larry.
Hi Larry, those old Fodens of Claude Hughes really used to lean over on the corners when loaded with three decks of sheep. That Foden looks like it has come from a BRS sale on de-nationalisation.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Especially his Foden Steers Gerald ! 
Cheer Dennis.
Yes Dennis I think they were worst, I remember once following one on the A595 from Thursby to Nealhouse when all those bad bends were still in place. The sheep must have thought they were at sea rolling in a storm. In the words of a well known Orcadian monologist crossing the Pentland Firth, "As she rolled frae left to right first you see the sea, then you see the sky " Yeurghh>
Cheers, Leyland 600

Hi Ken I got Henry’s 6 wheeler when he went onto an 8 wheeler on the Thames Board Mills job

Bill traded in his Guy 6 wheeler in IIRC '72 and got a brand new AEC Marshal 6 wheeler off T. Bingley.However within a week or so of getting it he smashed it up on the A6 near the Astra cafe south of Carlisle,and just about killed himself ! the AECwas a write off and he then got his final motor,an ex K.Fell Scammell Routman 8 wheeler which for some reason TK Robinson had bought but not run,Bill ran between Glasgow and Manchester.Beatties Biscuits down and Atlas Express parcels back up.In his last year or so his traffic started to dry up and we used to give him a regular Story Bros. job from Morecambe to RDB Freightlines in Glasgow,he would retire in the late 70’s I think.His main problem was ,of course ,his eyesight he was as blind as a bat which was the reason he smashed his new AEC up ! Cheers Dennis.
Did somebody mention TK ?
