Mr. Smith pointed this thread out to me, and I’m glad he did… some absolute cracking footage on here regarding heavy haulage!

Any idea what make that trailer is? Interesting swan neck on it…

Cheers, Patrick

Good morning Patrick,
Thanks for the comments.Tbh,i wouldnt know for sure 100%.Though imo that WYNNS trailer could well be a French built Nicolas? A very popular emerging brand back then.I think they were bought out by one of the other big trailer manufacturers?
regards Andrew.

Hello Patrick/Andrew.
Not sure what make the trailer behind the ‘Crusader’ is but the neck design looks like an early attemp of a ‘Live’ neck.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the photos mate.At the start of the Industrial revolution there was an iron works near Abergavenny,I dare say some of those steamers may well have worked out of there…
Regards Andrew.

Hi Smallcoal,
Thanks for the photos.There’s been a bit on Facebook about this accident.Apparantley it happened at night,I’m guessing ,the Scammell is loaded? (Petrol) as it’s east bound,so maybe loaded at Swansea or Llandarcy?.A very memorable incident for those there!
