Well i have been working on these pic,s for weeks heres a few ,hope the link works 500 more pics to come but still workin on them klunk in the bad books with the boss (the wife)ive z/b her scanner,
some excellent photos - love the bremerhaven one especially
are alderson’s still going? i remember early 90s they had a reputation for, erm, getting some work done shall we say - an acquaintance of mine from millom way did some casual for them around that time
Yeah jj72 they are still going down to three trucks now the two elder partners have retired (Colin and Bruce) when a driver left they just sold the truck they do a couple of trunks for turners now i left in 1990 they were good lads to work for as long as you could drop a pint or ten klunk
Just been looking at your pics,Klunk.
When you weren’t abroad did you ever load for Scotland out of Wincanton at Maltby,Rotherham - perhaps for Bellshill or Falkirk.I’ve seen a few in there when I was shunting.
Great pics.especially the Frieburg - Novara Rola.I’ve seen them regular on the Gotthard and Lotschberg in Schweiz.
Klunk,hope I was polite to you if we met - I know shunters had a reputation of being stroppy t----, I’ve had me moments with drivers especially Wincanton (who I worked for) from other depots as their pay and conditions were far superior to ours and I objected to being f----- about by 'em.

Excellent Klunk, much appreciated, you wana get one of those portable scanners that you can hook up to a laptop and scan them in when you are stuk abroad.
In fact some scanners now are in a pen size and you just roll the pen over the document and scan it in.
Id do it for you if your stuck!!!
Anyhow all the best and keep 'em coming, they are really good, takes many people incl myself back in time!!!
