Hi Buzzer, I like that picture of the Translloyd Commer. I think they were based near
Trafford Road Swingbridge. Salford Reg.No. The driver should have wound his landing
gear up a bit more. Regards, Ray Smyth.

Hi Ray IIRC It was Water Street where they had a warehouse, I used to load there sometimes with soap powders that they stored for Thos Hedley Ltd then Proctor & Gamble Ltd in the 50/60 days all handball, Regards Larry.

Hi Lawrence, Yes, I was wrong,the huge warehouse I was thinking of was “Liverpool Warehousing”
near Trafford Road Bridge. The Commer appears to have 8 stud wheels, and probably 8.25 x 20 tyres,
so it would be no more than about 22 tons GVW. Regards, Ray.

Some more bonnets maby? Had them back in the days.
The 470 was a real good unit made to do the work,and pulled like a train. And the 460 V8 no muffler sounded like a thunderstorm…
Danne

That 470 engine, wasn’t that the turbo-compound one? Wasn’t all that long on the market, was it?
Cracking shots though mate!

Went into the Dickinson yard once to load a CAT dumper, the ERF in the first pic was used as a shunter, didn’t took any footage then because of the weather at the time, but stumbled upon it with the other pic as well whilst searching on the net…

Thanks mate If i rember it right the first Scania compound was the 113 400 but wasnt a big succses. And the first version of the 470 wasnt good either but the second one was pretty good i think but it had to live with the first versions bad name… hmm can remember for how long it was around but wasnt it around for the whole 4serie?
We had two of them mine 3axl and a 4axl(see if i can find some pics) mine whent about 800000km without any major problems,but the other one was a bad one. When it was sold it had its fifth engine in it and third gearbox…

Danne

Well, that’s Scanny’s reputation going down the drain eh…
Never seen much of them about, it’s mostly the V8 fitted ones in “our” work…? Did driven the Volvo turbo-compound engine (or so I was told…), in the then upgrated FH series, a 500hp output if I remember correctly, pulled like a train, never missed a beat, wasn’t all that long in production either…sommat “fishy” about those turbo-compound engines perchange…?
