Cheers Bubbs. :wink:

Fabulous pics of the Northern Ireland Trailers motors, thank you Marc! Don’t s’pose you’ve any more N.I.T. or Pandoro ones, have you? I live in hope of returning my Atki to its original Northern Ireland Trailers livery one day in the distant future!

Hello again,240 I’ve got a couple of proper pics that you may not have seen,but like every thing here…where?Bear with me mate.ok

But what’s with the ERF LV tractor, running from Bradford to Poland?? :open_mouth:

Tell me it never actually went to Persia!!

Hello again,another mixture today. :laughing:

The text with this didnt copy but it says Edinburgh Freightliner terminal. :laughing:

Cheers Bubbs. :wink:

Hey bubbs that snaylams pic brings back some memories,i worked for them from 1975/83 till they sadly sold up and closed.A very good man to work for was fred and always kept his kit in excellent condition.

Every one a winner Bubbs!
Those old ERFs look great - the Manchester Liners operation was a real boom and bust job wasn’t it? They went from nowhere to everywhere and then disappeared again. Somebody must have lost millions.
Like the wee Seddon at Edinburgh, I wish I could see the fleet number. You haven’t got any from Glasgow-Gushetfaulds have you? I’ve been hunting round the net but no luck so far :cry:
Anyway, thanks again Bubbs, top stuff.

Bubbs you’ve done it again, the Comptons 1317 Merc was my Brothers new steed, knx 160l was his and 161,was the transport managers brothers. I believe they were the first 2, 1317’s in the country.

bravo - excelled yourself today BM, especially morley’s ERF and the accompanying text :smiley:

Hello again,glad that last lot pleased a few of you. :laughing:

More mixed pics.

Bloody good load on the back of Key Transport Guy…health and safety would have something to say nowadays :open_mouth:

Cheers Bubbs. :wink:

Good pics of the ERF’s Marc, especially the one of Beresfords coming up the hill.
Cheers Dave.

Marc

Well done Bubbleman for all the time and effort you have spent putting this huge thread together.

I have just spent the last hour and a half trawling through all of the 43 pages and must say there is some great article’s and nostalgic pictures which had it not been for Bubbleman would have been lost forever.

Brilliant well done Marc :smiley:
