I had 10 years of 25’s and 28’s there mate before we moved on to MAN’s, but lack of power was the only thing wrong with them nice to drive, and never let me down I always got home, we ran over the water with them for a while, they always got us back, if you had a problem it would only be a tyre.
cheers
John.

hi keith,
you are right and wrong,sorry.ypv is seen here loaded with colour coated steel from bryngwyn.she was a local tractor,with tipping gear,not a shunter.the other b series sleeper they had was used for shunting.ypv was worked hard on the lime dust from cornelly quarry with slag back.

I like the “eye to the sky” bit Andrew.
I used to load coil out of SPT Sheffield and it was dropped between banded timbers down the Reiver,the trick was to keep it just proud of the deck.Anyway I was on me way to Anderton Springs in Bingley with seven two ton coils and the timbers had spread unbeknown to me.They all came off in the one-way system in Wakefield
Cost me £15-10-0d in 1968 and we never carried coil that way again,had some brackets welded up instead of using banding wire,never had a well trailer though. I think Ross Garages in Cardiff and Sheffield were one of the first to use well trailers way back in the 60s.

hi chris,
it was 1968 when my father seen here on the drivers side had this two pedal beaver new with joint.i think the crane trailer coupled up to the new leyland loaded with tinplate was an early joint coiler?

That’s a nice old photo Andrew.
I wonder if your dad had to fetch the banding machine for that plate to be strapped,some union thing at SCOW when I went in? Some of the strip pickled coil we loaded was “eye to the sky” first lift then the rest leaning on it which was a bit safer.

Chris mentioned the use of banding strips that were used at Port Talbot,well we used to run into the works every week with 22 ton of Signode strip which was made at Barrow Steel.We had to drop so many lifts off in the various bays where the banding was used.My mate on the Octopus always knew ,more-or-less, which bays needed delivering to each week.he would send me to look in at some of the other bays to check the stock!! No computer stock replenishment in the 60’s,it was all down to Brady’s Octopus driver !! and there was never a problem,the Boyo’s never run short of Signode while Eric was managing their stock!! Cheers Dennis.
