At least the rearmost three have cab heaters!

Pete.

Its not me Pete I was never intelligent enough to work on tippers
cheers Johnnie

I dont think that there was any tipping involved with those steamers Johnnie, just a lot of hard graft loading them, hard graft driving them and more hard graft handballing it all off again! Then at the end of shift cleaning the ashpan and smoke box out, then getting in early next day to fire it up again. Not many overweight crewmen in those days.

Pete.

At least you never had to muck them like their predecessor the Horse Pete .
Cheers Dave.

Johnnie you saying you was not bright enough to drive tippers. When they was building the M 1 a lot of the drivers used to hit bridges and power cables so they started erecting wooden gangtrys with peices of wood or metal hanging down at a certain hight so if they had forgot to lower tipper they would clang against them. It was a laugh when it happened, for the men on the diggers & earthmoving machines used to honk their horns and give a gret big cheer.

Hiya,
Johnnie please don’t try using a straw takes too long to get from glass to gob with a chance of loss via evaporation which would be a disaster with a decent drop of single malt, you’ve got to agree that would never do now would it, drink in private use the garden shed with the windows blacked out, you could always tell the neighbours your expecting world war three and preparing for same in good time, just nail a “radio active” sign to the door and not even the missus will pay you a visit.
thanks harry long retired.

[chris_webb]

I never drove a tipper in me life and never used a tautliner either,new-fangled things when I was on general - in fact they might not have been invented.
Drivers used to say to me “I wanted to be a shunter but they found out me parents were married”.
Not very nice…

Sad news boys, the conservatives have been peeping at this thread, and are voting to double the tax on whisky and triple on single malt! They reckon that with the amount you lads drink they can clear Britains debts before the next election, and sure to win the next one.

Don’t need a shed for the new purchases but a skip for the empties, going to fit a Sturmey Archer gear system to the Zimmer frame to make sure I make good speed to the “offie” to beat the price hike.
