ENJOY TODAYS SELECTIONNice pics “FLOURPOWER”.
If anyone is intrested i put an article about Santa Fe on page 162.
Dean, it’s 4.41 am or 14.41 what are you doing posting at this time of the morning ■■ there is nothing that would get me up at, well, nearley nothing, 4.41 in the morning and it would have nothing to do with trucks, “near pehaps”, but not trucks. good on you pall !!!.
All the talk about hub reduction, let me add a few points. Tractive effort, spreads the loading when pulling away and on hills, all the little planetary gears spreading the load and of course a much smaller diff pan so no resistants with muck when off road. down side, weight and maintenance costs, there !! had to add my bit 
cheers Harvey

Hi, Does anyone recognise this old girl, I stumbled across her in a yard along with a MK2 Marathon in Irthlingborough, I think she may have been an ex Agnew & Lithgow unit originally going by her registration number HSJ950N.New to Osborne’s of Kilmarnock, apparently, and used to carry whisky. Here it is in 2007, at the Great Dorset Steam Fair:

Now that Leyland Steer is a strange beast as I only recall the AEC Mamouth Minor being advertised and sold. I would think that the Leyland with the 680 Power Plus engine was a far better bet than what turned out to be a very unreliable AEC, so I wonder if the Leyland was only produced for the export markets ? Cheers Dennis.

Dennis the first artic I had on round timber haulage was a Mamoth Minor but it did not take me long to realis when in of hard road conditions it was a nightmare, acted like a seasaw and took all traction away from the drive axle so I had a mechanic remove the steer axle and had a long wheelbase Mandator in effect but it proved quite a comfortable ride back in the day. IMHO too many British trucks were too short in the wheelbase tending to buck the driver in his seat, on another note I saw a Scania 140 in Peter Gilders yard on double airbags so why were we so slow to catch on to that suspension idea earlier, cheers Buzzer.

Do remember Sandersons buying 2 Atkinsons usual Gardner 180 but with longer wheelbase for a contract with Seatrain containers the 2 skeletal trailers which were hired were longer and standard wheelbase would not go under. The contract did not last very long, remember them being always heavy. My dad then got it a couple of years later on local registration was YAJ 272K. And the ride was definately better than the standard one, even with badly placed coil loads out of BSC Lackenby trailer scheme.
