When Roger purchased a tag axle Scania unit,he sold A19 GRJ to Bakers
Roger’s first Transcon was in Merrick livery & he replaced it in 1983 with A39GRJ
Later it was repainted in LTS Freight livery

Also of my Highwayman at Ilkeston Haulage. The trailers were bow fronted to accommodate the set back position of the cab on a short chassis, passed very close to the back of the cab but was a nightmare to load a square load, such as cartons of whisky, and make a neat job of sheeting at the front.

That “Tomica World” livery trailer is after my time there.
Lamberts had some tall 15ft-ish tautliners used a lot for Tomy Toys.
Sometimes palletised, sometimes handball, top to bottom, front to back. Trailer left at factory to load, then driver “to assist” with delivery.
Light enough boxes, but no-one asked to get those jobs.

I remember my very early Lambert days with a 15ft 8" trailer behind an F7 & no roof spoiler delivering to Woolworths RDC at Castleford, a struggle on a windy day even with the reasonably light load.
Backloading 10t of flag stones from Jimmy’s near Rochdale who loaded with an ancient hiab by the side of the road I think I remember, pretty sure you’ll remember him.

Hi there!
Jimmy was the son-in-law of ■■■■ and Linda, who previously ran the quarry, I think. They ran the stone from the top with that hiab on an old rigid Ford didnt they? Wasnt Castleford always a 06hrs00 booking time? Or some such? No good with a curtain sider load of Christmas prezzies!
