Final resting place for trailers

Steevo:
Dont think this will see the road again

that looks like an old BRS trailer unless I’m mistaken, that must be over 40 years old if it is.

id have thought this was retired but it had on 06 numberplate on the back of it, i missed the truck that picked it up.

Mr 141:
Over the years i have come across this little lot while trying to find one to put behind my Scania 141. You’d never believe its so difficult to get the owners to want to part with them!!







Fantastic examples. Where were they taken ?

Deepest darkest Essex! On a farm near Braintree. The Europa one is in a scrap yard on the banks of the Thames.

Found this hiding in the bushes last week, been there a while i think…




I dont think the tank was originally on that trailer, it doesnt seem to fit, trailer has the automatic coupling system from the 60s

There’s a Scammell-coupling tanker trailer by the side of the railway line between Bradford and Halifax. It’s been there for years, and can only be seen clearly in the winter months when the undergrowth dies back, and even then it’s only a brief glimpse as the train passes. It’s situated at Hipperholme, somewhere between Halifax Old Road and Station Road, on the east side of the tracks, but is on private property. There seems to be the remains of a red livery on it, Shell or Esso perhaps, and it would look great restored behind a Bedford “S” type or a BMC tractor from the fifties!

whereabouts ? :slight_smile: Google Maps

Its a Spillers Flour Millers tanker, they ran drawbar tankers carrying flour, and this looks like it would have fit on the drawbar trailer
