Thats a nice shot of LGK 3D the LB 76 Scania Vabis, probably taken in the 80’s in black & white in a 60’s type setting, the driver even having period overhalls. This unit was salmon pink when it was a demonstrator and when eventually sold was painted black, red and white in the colours of Rounds transport from Dudley and worked on machinery removals for many years before being restored by Hingleys and this period shot taken.

I rather thought it looked like a rather more modern, posed photograph, at somewhere like the Black Country Museum. Especially, since it’s wearing Hingley’s livery…

Just to let you all know that Bubbleman’s wheels have fallen off again!!

Marcus tells me that he will be off line for 10 to 15 days due to his internet provider taking their time installing a broadband connection to his new house

A few varied ones I’ve found to help out for now.

Ex army Bedford at Salford docks.

1930’s bump in Manchester.

Southport Sand from Ainsdale, I remember hearing these 2 strokes as a kid and thought they sounded like sports cars.

Are these still going near Kings Lynn, an article in an 80’s mag said 2 sons in their early 20’s and their Mother took over running 3 of these ERF’s after their dad was killed in a lorry accident.

Sherran’s from Stalybridge.

Reyner’s old Droylsden yard in 1971.

Nelstrop’s of Stockport.

Merrick Bros of Heywood.

Are there any pics about of the Scania’s they are the ones I remember seeing most when I was delivering Newspapers too the Kendal wholesaler at night.
