By the sound of it CG you are clearly not “singing of the same hymn sheet” as I don’t think the “X” reg Larry is on about running around the farm would be a 4 series tractor !! I could be wrang marra but I doubt it eh! Cheers Bewick.
Hello Bewick
I only think it’s a Scania 4 series tractor because X reg is about 1999, and the 4 series came in in 1997.
I might be wrong, but thankyou for pointing it out.
Thankyou for your support.

The P cab 112 on the right is an 81 X reg Scania RAO 982X and IIRC was one of the first batch of the,then,new model of Scanias that Graham Commercials supplied when the 111’s and 81’s were replaced with the P & R cabs.Maybe (probably definitely) you were running round the school playground with a snotty nose and a lump of ginger cake in your hand when the first X reg motors went on the road !!! Cheers Bewick.
A couple of DAF 85 series belonging to Browns somewhere in the Hull area

When I was growing up in West ■■■■■■■ I used to love visiting Carlisle just so I could see their depot, which at the time was probably the best in the region if not the Country, I only visited their yard once around 1982.As well as haulage they also had a large plant hire fleet it was probably the third largest in the region after Seymour Plant Hire and BEC, the plant fleet consisted of:-
Priestman 360 tracked excavators
Ford Backhoe Loaders
Caterpillar D6 bulldozers
A couple of Cranes
plus they had some Ford tractorsRegarding their haulage fleet in the early eighties they probably had around 20-30 lorries, at one time they had F88’s and then changed to 111’s plus they had a SA 400. A couple their 111’s were in a yellow Pirelli livery. They bought a large amount (5-10) of P112’s around 1983-84 these were X and Y reg. They also had a tipper fleet of about 5 Dodge 4x2 tippers.
They also had a couple of vehicles, a Volvo F12 and a Leyland Reiver (this was replaced by a DAF 2300) in a yellow plant hire livery.They also owned a couple of farms near Aspatria.
Can anyone remember another haulage firm from Cardewlees called Armstrong they a SA 400 and a SA 8x4 tipper.
Hi George, If my memory serves me right, I think you mean John Armstrong, he being the father of Ian Armstrong who continues to run a bulk tipper outfit from Penrith although he still uses Carlisle in the company name, only met him a couple of times in the late 80`s, decent bloke though.
Hello georgeking,
That infomation is excelent, just what I set the thread up for.
