Oop’s got it wrong 
-----same motor on the right i remember now they changed the livery 
The first photos was when Trelloa Bros from Haltwhistel owned them, Regards Larry.
That’s a nice FODEN S39 of MARLEYS only one thing spoils it!!! those chrome wheels look out of place on a motor that age. Eddie.
Hi Lawrence, Yes agreed, the two Macks belonged to the Trelloar Bros from Haltwhistle. Last I heard of them they were involved in sailing The Chipchase a former Blyth tugboat around the north coast of Scotland down to Maryport where I last saw it. I can remember when it sank in Blyth river, I also knew its chief engineer who luckily was on his day off when it sank.
Cheers, Leyland 600
They still have a coal business at Haltwhistle as far as I know, Regards Larry.
A colleague at work lent me the following photo’s they belong to his father who works for the county council he saved these photo’s from going in the bin as he thought they had a historical interest, they depict various views of the building of the A1(M) around Darlington in the early 60’s.
There’s a photo of a Guy Invincible belonging to Siddle C. Cook and a van belonging to G. Stephenson who I can just recall operated ex army tippers painted in red oxide I think they came from around West Auckland way but I sure someone on here will know. regards prattman.
Yeah George Stevenson’s came Auckland,theres more photo’s on here i think.

hiya,
Just gone back a page and given the Foden of Marley’s another look
and I’ve got to agree it would look better with painted wheels. but a
week in my “care” and I’d knock the shine off em’ without loss of any
earnings though, I hasten to add, now where’s that bleedin’ wash. 
thanks harry, long retired
The Marley Foden looks very well restored to its former glory but I have to agree the wheels are right out of character with such a classic motor, But never mind If that’s what the lucky owner likes , after all It is his choice, Regards Larry.
I put the following photo’s on the scrapbook thread but I think they should also go on here as they are vehicles of long departed north east operator Grady Hall.regards prattman.
Had a chat with one or two of the lads lately re the next get together. The date decided on is Friday 27th December, the usual venue of Newcastle Labour Club. This was arrived at after it was pointed out that Newcastle are at home on the Saturday so the club will probably be very crowded that day. I hope we will get a good turnout with some new faces as well as the regulars. Anyone connected to our industry is more than welcome to attend, come along meet some old friends (and hopefully make some new ones) Regards Kev. Ps. I will make a separate thread a bit nearer the date. 
Thanks for the Info Kev, See you there, Regards Larry.
Hope to be there depending on this work stuff that has to be done

those photos bring back memories prattman those two vehicles were two years old when i started at grady hall in 1974 as an apprentice. i have a photo of aup 280l but its when it was “retired up the wood” and had been stripped for spares. i worked for them until 1990
cheers

Davidsons of Coundon. Used to do a lot of coal into Ferrybridge power station. Their old yard is still at Coundon with the milk tankers running out of there.

Back to Eagle Transport, I remember being in London one day when Skipper Bisset came onto the hill, he had come through the B/W,Tunnel & his windscreen popped, ,He allways cabed it Tsummer or winter, he was pretty tall so he would be a bit cramped in the LAD type cab, so he booked a bed at Tonys in Mansell Street, just up from the hill, Albert Greenwood & lots more Newcastle drivers took the p all night, they even laughed & told him he would get bed sores, But he he took it in good fun, Im hoping he is still about, because he might have photos which I hope he has , but get him on here & he will have us going for sure, great lad was Charlie Skipper Bisset, he had a boat at Ryton, hence the nickname Skipper, Regards LarryLawrence, Skipper Bisset was my much older cousin. His real name was John Bisset but for some reason called himself Charlie Bisset. My farther was Charlie Bisset from Ryton & ran tippers from 1930s - 1970s. He told me that John (Skipper) had been a bit of a lad in his time & got into allsorts of trouble. Saddly John passed away about 8 years ago . Also my dad was a great drinking pal with Albert Greenwood & ■■■■ Pulkinhorn at the Jolly Fellows Ryton .Cheers Roy.
Thank you for the info R0YBO, Skipper was a good freind of mines in the old days,when your old man said he was a handfull, he was right, he was a real handfull, he backed down to nobody, Im sorry to hear he has passed away,Im sure a lot of drivers remember him, Regards Larry.
john charlie skipper bisset was my dad, and he told us millions of story’s whilst out on the road!!

Another Mack this time from Coxhoe
Good photos of Wendell’s Macks Vic, I sat in this one and fired it up and selected gears etc, (with permission) when I was delivering diesel one time on Phillips, I was driving an F86 at the time and couldn’t believe how tiny the Mack cab was inside, no good to a big lad like me! Regards, Mizzo.
