Just been speaking to a friend,well we’ve just been drinking whisky together.He worked with som many years ago and he has an ex mechanic at Maddiston that phones him weekly.He can also confirm the existance of the big j 8lxb.So Dennis you and your band of disbelievers will have to give in some day.Had problems logging in so now added 51 to my user name.Regards,Robert.
Sounds like it was a “fair wee dram” Robert!!! What is the relevance of “51” is it a) your inside leg measurement b) waist size c) hat size d) shoe size? Ah the best! Dennis.

Sounds as if the Big J 8LXB existence has been well and truly proved Robert.
Cheers Dave.
It was always there Dave as we know, It’s just getting some people to admit there wrong and that looks like it could be tall order in this case.
It has Dave,we are just waiting on Dennis and his merry band of unbelievers putting their hands up and saying,YES THEYDID MAKE A BIG J 240.
Regards Robert.
I think Dennis has gone to have an early night ready to watch the wedding tomorrow,he has probably kept an Easter egg to eat as well .
Cheers Dave.

Well,until one is parked up on Morecambe prom with full history,he’ll never believe any bugger,that’s what I reckon,so best thing to do is find summat else to talk about 'cos Dennis is too stubborn to admit it.Anyroad I’d sooner have had one with the ■■■■■■■■■■ least they’d romp on a bit.

Watch out,the old lads back

I was staying down at Pine Lakes near Carnforth the other week there.I should have taken one of my bottles of Islay malts to Morecombe when I was there and bribed him to admit it on line.

How about one with a Gardner 180 Chris,we ran 6 of them from mid 70’s to early 80’s now they were “bomb proof” workhorses!! Now I’ve never said “there is no such motor as a Big J with 8LXB” I only asked for photographic evidence. Which apart from a lot of “huffing and puffing” and climbing onto stacks of bibles and “swearing”(usually at me!!) there hasn’t been ONE SINGLE shot of a BIG J/8LXB.“Trev” rekons he went to tech with Guy apprentices and he was also in and out of Fallings Park for a number of years and he never once saw an 8LXB chassis! As I’ve said before they must have been built by the management during the night!!!But I am still not saying there never was such an animal!!! And while I’m on I would also like to reiterate that wild horses couldn’t drag me back onto the Bewick thread! even if I had more photos than Bubbs to post! There is no chance! Cheers Dennis.
Anyone know how to catch wild horses
.
Carry fast Dave,he knows everything.

Dennis,get yer hand in yer pocket and nip over to the IOM from Heysham and me and you can have a good natter about wagons in general. I’d come over to Heysham but me dodgy money has run out.
By the way - 180 Gardners,sorry but a typical gaffer’s motor,more action in a tramp’s vest.Let me know what sailing you are on and I’ll pick you up.
hiya,
Free bus pass
, I’ve just got my free TV licence and a cheque for 14 quid i’d paid too much i do give the bus pass some wellie though, would swap the bus pass for a drive in a 8LXB engined Big J driven plenty of Roller and ■■■■■■■ engined ones the BRS had hundreds but none of the 240s i wonder why.
thanks harry long retired.

But you never know we may pop over for a long weekend in the near future.Get putting some coin into that big glass on’t mantle shelf Chris!! Cheers Dennis.
