Hi Keith.
Were the wagons out of Orb Works known as Monmouthshire Transport or was that earlier? Those 3 axled Atkis had what looked like stencilled number plates IIRC.

Hi Chris ,yes indeed Monmouthshire Transport was earlier con not remember the exact date ,but they were running Leyland Octopus and Albion Aberdonian 8 rigids .
Those Atkis did have stencilled plates they had about 30 of them ,many on Scottish work ,regards Keith

I bet the two drivers who got the S80s would have felt like king of the castle after coming off an old s36/39.No more smashed knuckles, heatstroke or frostbite , and a radio that you could actually hear
