Marc :wink:

You could delete them all and put them back on slowly and it would be just as interesting and intriguing.

Ask bubblewoman if she would mind :stuck_out_tongue:

Or I shall just start at page one again, Again!!!

Can anybody remember the name of that Austrian company who had a big fleet of Steyrs in the 70/80’s who I think were from Wells in Austria. The had a very distinctive livery of orange and green and were very often seen in Dover and L.I.F.T. A lot of their vehicles were on contract to Puch motor cycles which was also written in the side of their trailers.

Dunno if anyone else answered you yet Steve (too lazy to scroll forward first :blush: ) but I reckon you’re thinking of Frikus from Graz? I have a couple of 1:87 Roco models of one of their Steyrs and a stepframe tilt on the cupboard somewhere - very nice they are

Bubbs; you’re a National Treasure mate - to come up with all those Steyrs, then a batch of Pegasos shortly after, priceless! If I was to have one niggle, I just wish you’d gone on more holidays to Europe in the same period :wink: I don’t remember Millars having any Volvos, thought they were all Scania, shows how much I know, or how the memory’s going :laughing:

Some great pics,i remember them going into Trinity Paper Mills at Holcombe i used to go there on a saturday mornings with my dad

Hiya …at one time Millars only had Volvo,s that would be in the mid 70,s.one of millars came into downings brick yard in stoke for 10,00 bricks
as the fork truck driver put a ramp to the fridge van back doors he saw two plates of steel already in the trailer possibly 18 tons
and he wanted the 19tons of bricks putting on top of the steel plates
