Hi Oily as you probably know this AEC Marshall was often parked up overnight on The Sands at Carlisle along with a few other fridge vans frae the Buchan district. The Marshall was popular with these hauliers at that time T M Catto, S A Macraes, Gibbs and others
Cheers, Leyland 600

We had Marshallâs at our quarry before I started there and I think they were well liked, although they did like eating head gaskets and chucking the fan through the rads and performance wasnât brilliant on hills as the gearchange was on the slow side. They were replaced with the half cab Fodenâs which originally had no power steering although that was added later, possibly not as quite as comfortable but certainly more reliable and better at hillclimbing.

A nice looking outfit, but wouldnât it be a tad overlength, and what about C&U regs? Also old enough to avoid import duties?
Thanks to Punchy Dan, pyewacket947v, jshepguis and robthedog for the pics 
Yes they are everywhere.
Oily

But got to agree with you Danâl when the entire fleet is written down to ÂŁ1 on the balance sheet you are safe from the vagaries of the economy but if these written down assets are asked to perform âday in and day outâ they wouldnât be able to cope ! So thatâs why new or near new assets have to be purchased ! The industry couldnât run reliably by having to depend on written down equipment across the board ------ well could it ? Denzil

When I started with Tilcon in 1975 there were a lot of owner/drivers with mostly four wheelers and just a few âsixesâ and hardly any eight wheelers. Some replaced them regularly, every four years or so, and in the 1988/989 period many upgraded to new six wheelers. Ford Cargo was a popular choice, my future gaffer bought a new Foden six wheeler (which he ran for fourteen years and then it did another spell with a Leicester haulier) , Malmic on here a Constructor and so on, four wheelers were getting fewer though. However when I finished in 2002 many were still running those same trucks, worked dropped off and rates didnât rise much plus the price of fuel was going through the roof so there was no encouragement to replace old with new. Tilcons decision to sell off their own transport nationally didnât help as the rates did usually get reviewed annually, with them gone there was no reason to change! Every big tonnage job that came along had the haulage rate cut, quarries always hit transport first before reducing their own material price, and nobody brought new vehicles any longer. Somebody (possibly Malmic?) said that there had to be new vehicles purchased as the supply of good secondhand ones would dry up eventually, Iâm guessing that was why Tarmacâs scheme of buying a new vehicle through them seemed very attractive, but like most of these offers it was never quite as good as it seemed and the goalposts steadily moved closer together!
If Dan is happy running something that does the job, can be easily repaired by him and wont hurt him too much if it has to stand idle occasionally then why not? It wont last forever though, and he always has a Dennis Pax waiting in the wings for if and when the Foden does expire. These Punchardâs are canny lads you know! However, being a Foden, it will probably see Dan right through to his retirement!

I think the quarry job is about done down your way Pete , the son and heir of the rigsby fortunes has been running tarmac to Cromford all week on nights from Cemex at Dove Holes . Takes me back to the 90s when the road from Tunstead past Tarmacâs Waterswallows quarry was relaid with tarmac from Ballidon , with Topley Pike 3miles away .
