yes it was definitely a 2 axle job around 1982 , I guess it got a tag axle for 38 tonnes later in its somewhat chequered life, hope its got a good home now, deserves it

Thanks tonyj105 and Oily! I’ve just realised it’s the one I saw at Peterborough a couple of years back. It’s got a 290 ■■■■■■■ and 9-speed Fuller, I believe. Robert

Not sure if this is the same one.
I caught it heading south on the M1 near Nanpanton, it was going well then.

Hi Danne,
The scenery looks very much like the Scottish Highlands very picturesque, Pete

Morning Oily,
I think this is a CX3 forerunner to the Clydesdale? Where is Bernard with his Albion encylopedia?

Nice pic Pete , I’d say late '40s Chieftain, Bernard will know for sure.

Hi Pete, Early days of Mc Kinnons long before they became part of the Tayforth Group and obviously they were not yet hauliers for the Johnnie Walker whisky distillery as they later became.
Cheers, Leyland 600

I believe that’s a model 123, 40/50cwt, made between 1935 and 1939. Can’t pin down the year exactly as AV numbers were issued in Aberdeen for many years.
By the way, if you want to narrow down Albion ID a bit, the rising sun on pre-war and wartime models is the full width of the header tank, narrower on postwar models

Hi Bernard,
That model was also made in normal control, if so are these the same model? I seem to remember my Dad saying they we’re 127’s in my pic? Apologies for the quality, Pete

[oiltreader]

Thanks to albion1938 for the info and pete smith for the pic which I have tweaked a bit.

Brilliant tweaking, Oily. Can you do a similar job on my degenerating body?
