Hi Oily, Get on that train it’s the best 20 quid i’ve spent! There was no logs on the quay at Kyle yesterday only a couple of coaches dropping off for the boat trips,Cheers Pete
Hi Oily, My guess is that a lot of the timber shipped from the Kyle and Scrabstern comes down to Workington Dock then transported a short distance to Iggesund Paper Board (formerly Thames Board Mills) but I could be wrong., perhaps someone knows more about these shipments.
cheers, Leyland 600.

Hi bumper, cheers for the pic, a grand outfit, tho just a bit ironic, Bomber Command, Merc unit and doing European, not so sure it would go down too well in Dresden.

Hi Leyland600, you could well be right, read somewhere a while back and in particular that JST were involved, ie the shipping, environmentally aimed at cutting down transport by on road.

Not forgeting Mr Wakefields’s colours of course !!

David is very much still about, here are a couple of pictures to prove he’s alive & kicking like a good 'un, and that is Big Bertha in the yard now Steve,
Do you always have to lift vehicles when recovering them nowadays Rob, I can’t remember the last time that I saw a truck being pulled on a straight bar yet at Ballidon we did it all the time from wherever in the country they happened to expire, unless there was serious accident damage to the running gear of course?
