Cracking pic of the BRS Guy with the Mk10 bodies on, bound for Browns La no doubt.
Whey hey!! just the job. I am making a model of one of those, (except it’s a six wheeler & drag) What colour would that have been then Dieseldog6 ? 
Is it me or at first glance does it look like a monkey in a white shirt with black tie looking over his shoulder out of the cab

I would say that’s BRS Red (ayres red) i think is the proper name, it doesn’t look like it the Blue of Pressed Steel Fisher.
Bggr! I thought you might say that, I have painted the cab twice already and now I have the glazing in. Reckon it might have to be a Pressed Steel Fisher one then! 
Hello once more,the old BRS Guy created a bit of interest,heres a similar one to start with.
Hope these are of interest.
Cheers Bubbs.
That’s a great picture of the BRS Seddon, I think Harpers of Liverpool took over that contract later on, I still cant work out how the bodies were fix, anyone help there. Triumph 1300’s were code named the Ajax while being designed, in the mid 60’s my Dad used to ferry out of the Standard Triumph back to rowley road, I was always with him on a Friday night. they only use to put 3 chains on the whole load!!!

Used to see plenty of the artics round this way back in the late 70s delivering bitumen to Waterswallows and Topley Pike quarries - both Tarmac owned.
Presumed they were absorbed into another company but I’m clueless as to which one. 
And a couple more pics.
great to see the J. Medler Seddon – their wagons get all over NOrfolk
Hello again,good pics from Bonkey…another Philmac motor coming up,Suedehead the channelflow pic was an advert showing the range of vehicles they had.
Here we go then.
Looking at the last pic it occured to me that some of the younger lads who view this thread are saying to themselves “where are the landing legs”.When I was a kid this type of artic was very popular,here is a close up of the set up.
I’ve always known it as Scammell coupling but the above were Taskers effort.anyone remember them…my old chap had a “S” type Bedford with Scammell coupling and remember him having a run up to couple a laden trailer and being spat out because of the weight.
Then someone had the bright idea of a converter. 
Now bigger trailers could go on small underpowered units,I once saw a G.L.Bakers TK with a converter and a well loaded 4 in line trailer on and as it went round bends smoke was coming off the rear tyres of the unit as they rubbed against the rear wings 
History lesson over.
Cheers Bubbs.
Heheh.scammel couplings - I remember them well bubbs.
There was a a pretty low weight limit on them though wasn’t there? I remember BRS Parcels used them on most of their trailers and NCL had some when I got started ('69) but they were on the way out by then.
Never saw a converter though - would have been handy since the BRS Parcels boys used to leave their trailers lying about all over the place and nobody could move them.
Nice photos again, cheers

Remember the Scammell couplings very well. They were also a right so snd so when uncoupling a loaded trailer. Where I worked they still had some of these up till the mid 70s. Think all the 20ft (and smaller) trailers had gone by this time but we still had a few 30footers. As far as I can remember the weights for these were the same as a fifth wheel. I think 3 axles was 22/24 ton subject to trailer and unit. Don’t ever recall seeing a scammell coupling with more than one axle though. Maybe that’s where the lower weight came into it. The small Scammell 3 wheelers and Karriers had the same type of coupling but it was smaller. Remember the removable lights on the unit that you had to take off and put on the trailer?
Brilliants pics Bubbs keep em coming.
