She is nice,and with your penchant for cab-overs I’d imagine you almost ran out of Kleenex when you saw her

It’s a great picture of the Locomotive, these were used mainly around Teeside when the intermodal 44 tonne came in. Denby ran one, as did Bulkhaul, Stiller and Isotank.
globby’s new motor

This one is a former W&J Riding unit - here it is when reasonably new:
It was converted into a ballast tractor for the Bell Bulk job. It ran at 65 tons and replaced an older Strato unit. (see below)
Posed shot, with one of the Riding road fleet peeping out of the next bay:
Another posed shot in front of the crane:
I didn’t realise Bell Lines were using them then. Although it must have made sense when the Freightliner terminal was in ICI Wilton
Bell Resolve leaving Harwich Parkeston Quay

Hell yea,not only paid for it,but driven it from new 35 years ago,he must know that motor inside out and then some.
Huge admiration for him ,and a lucky guy to be driving a truck with character and something different to the rest 
Taken in May of this year 
Still earning their keep on the fairgrounds.
I know these aren’t that old but it’s not everyday you get two generations of vehicle together

euromat:
how about this one?!!! i woke up and thought i had woken up in 1998! my first thoughts was that it was a greek (or it was abandoned, but wheni parked up it wasnt there), then from the melee of the cab a coughing yorkshireman got up
oh, it was in italy, not the uk!!
Love this! Proper working truck, no show shine or tat here
Reminds me when i was a kid when all trucks were dirty work horses
DAF 1900 “E” reg 1987, rigid Scotch based, parked up overnight on M5 Frankley a couple of weeks ago.
Not that old but I’ve never seen an S reg Premium before, and never seen one on the fairgrounds;
erf ec14 still working 24/7 —alan
Volvo f12
the business end
I see the Leyland quite often around Manchester. It was loading in Cemex at Dove holes when i took the pictures. Not a very good picture of the ERF. It pulls a scrap trailer. Ive seen it all over the place, it was parked in Sheffield when i took its picture. Its a really tidy motor.
Still used on shunting work
Cheers
Jonny
