Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 2)

Now then RR we used to deliver many loads per week of new 45 gal drums to Marchon from Aintree over an 8 year period and they only drums that were lost was at Bass Lake one dark morning when after a stormy night an broken branch clicked under the back top row of drums and showered a car that was following !

Have you ever tried to clamber over a load m/t drums RR —– uck that for a game of cowboys :rofl:

Fair do.s Dennis.
Those would be the days when drivers did not ‘Drive like Dick’s’'.

I’ve seen me bring up a load of drink on pallets internally strapped ,300 miles, drop trailer in yard,.check back doors load still as straight as a die.

‘Richard’ picks it up Mon am and some of it collapses or slips within 100 miles.

Good point well made.:joy::joy:

I told him to destroy those petrol.spattered jeans .
But he has a watertight alibi apparentlly.:joy::joy:

Damn! File too big it says. Suffice to say it’s epic. Needless to say we’re all running out empty tomorrow

Have a pic instead

Australia donk power

Hell thats bad all the lot gone?

How many horse power is that Buzzer?

That Buffalo would have been the star of the show Dennis? I’ll just get my coat :smiley:

I only ever drove one of those things on a 50 mile round trip while my Sed Atk was in dock at National Carriers.
Horrible noisy uncomfortable abortion.

Just maybe they are empty which makes the tensile strength of a sheet of canvas v holding a full 45 gallon drum or 6 on the back of a flat sort of moot.

I would expect they were deffo empty otherwise the trailer would be overloaded I guess.
I never thought anything else.

The Driver the late Roy “ Bull” Davies had just pulled up in the yard from picking up the load in Aintree and he went straight into the traffic office to ask when his Scania was going to be out of the workshop as he was sick of that ucking abortion Leyland ! :wink:

What else could you expect from BRS as it probably took 4 men two days to sheet that load of drums :rofl: :upside_down_face:

I remember you saying something similar when you posted that before​:rofl::rofl::rofl:

The thing is five years earlier they would have been fighting for it

So Ramoan thinks that adding the two, of a sheet of canvas, to the two of it maybe, with a bit of luck, holding some empty drums on a flat trailer, will then make the 4 of it also holding a full one or a stillage full of heavy castings, let alone more, without them tearing the sheet apart as they fly off the deck.

That’s when the local fire chief ordered as much water to be thrown on it as the pumps could get and deliver.He thought they said it involved two lithium batteries not 200 tonnes of em.The resulting movie will be called the steaming inferno.

A vid maoster.
