You can almost hear that lovely sweet engine just by looking at the picture. There used to be a dark brown wagon and drag cattle truck about when I was a boy & to hear it pull away fully loaded with cattle was lovely.

Leyland 90 was its proper title, it used the split case rear axle from the BMC FG range and a modified LAD cab. The Terrier came later, part of the Leyland Redline range, the early models were fitted with Nitrogen activated brakes which were ‘interesting’ to say the least!Pete.
Leyland 90 thanks to Ronnie Cameron.

I remember Greenaways who were cattle dealers from Cirencester having one of those as a cattle truck.
