Hi All,
Thought as this is topical, does anyone have any pics of snowploughs/gritters from 50s-90s, my local council Sunderland used to run Dennis crewcabs that were converted from refuse wagons in 80s and 90s before the volvo/merc/man monopoly, had some pics of these but lost in house move.
We’ve still a couple of old mid 90s Fodens in the yard. I’ll try and get some photos next time i’m in.
6x6 Atkinson
A canadian "Sicard "
A unimog from the 60s
A scammell from the 50s
Is it this type iof thing you are looking for
Not the clearest of pics but this is a converted Dustcart - SD i think

I remember seeing ones like that in Moscow years ago, well in the nineties anyway, they seem pretty effective just scoop it into a tipper & away with the bloody stuff.

Pics are great thanks,the S&D is the same idea as the Dennis that were used around here,the Newcastle snow clearer is a new one on me,never seen anything like that before
