I just wonder if there are some issues of this nice house-magazine somewhere?
Not to obtain them but more to have access to the content…any collectioneurs
over here able and willing to share content?
I believe there were only 20 of these ERF ‘in-house’ magazines produced. We have seen scans of articles about the MW export models from No. 18 and the piece on the ERF NGC European (in No. 20) on these threads. Little else though. The last one (20) was published in Spring 1974. I’ve never seen one on ebay, though I’ve looked. I too, would like to see something from these mags.
It just so happens that I have No. 20 on loan at the moment. They are filled with separate articles, features and news in much the same as any other transport magazine, so it might help if you could be more specific about what you want and people will know what to look for (and scan and post).

Ow, in general I guess quite some collectioneurs are looking for that last bit or confirmation, from
fire appliances to trailers or South African activities or general (history) subjects concerning ERF.
Could be true the 20 issues…I recall to have a reprint of the 1963 issue…merely on history then.
The fact that this magazine is quite ‘below’ confirms its rarity…
Looking at No. 20 a couple of things have just occurred to me:
-
There is a regular column near the back called Roundabout: now we know where that Delcon piece came from featuring the 3/5MWs (it was headed Roundabout in the same style script)! [see my comment and scan of the page on the LHD ERF 5MW thread].
-
I’ve found an interesting review of a South African tractive unit that appears to have borrowed some of its technology and design from the NGC. I’ll pop it on the South African ERFs thread this evening.

A 1969 or '70 Chassis mag is on ebay at the moment, but it is ludicrously priced! Robert
