Great pictures thanks to Geoffo, Andrew(pete 359) nice variety and kevmac47 , yes Kev the steam takes me right back to my childhood with memories of travelling threshing mills, (Fowler engine and Garvie mill) also our coal delivery on the the back of a Sentinel steam wagon, thankfully most of the marbles still in the same poke which helps when recall is needed tho’ 5 minutes ago can get me … .
Cheers

This is at the top of the Rotang Pass in North Eastern India, elevation at this point, a tad over 13000ft, at times like this, the message under the bumper is never more in need.

I think I took this shot at Ingliston mid 90’s, this should bring back memories for Eddie from Sanquhar (ERFguy). Regards Kev.[attachment=0]img067.jpg[/attachment] On second thoughts it could be Carlisle Truckstop, but I could be wrong again

Aye Kev Jim Doig in the red shirt and Dougie Halliday his second man in the orange shirt, Looks like Carlisle truckstop.
There has been a bit o a fallout at the Dumfries club and another group has been formed called Solway something?. So we will need to wait and see what happens there eh. Eddie.

Another classic thanks to John Wakely taken 1980s, a few officials around today who would no doubt find fault with the way this Trader is set up.

A bit of AEC expert help is needed…John Burke, a contact on flickr is asking for model and year of this wagon, my input for what it’s worth and having a close look at the rad badge is Mammoth Major Oil Engine and a guess at early 1930s, the exact description is eagerly looked forward to.
