Coops, if you ever get fed up of painting cars/trucks, you could be ace at talking people through using photobucket…only slightly easier than talking a jumbo jet pilot down!

Andrew, I used to see some in Wolverhampton but I can’t remember who ran them, I think it may have been P.A. Carter, a London and Wolves outfit who also ran a lot of Foden 2 strokes.
Hello Trev H, the only Deutz in this area ,to my knowledge, was ran by Spandler Brothers of Gt. Yarmouth and was worked very hard. The driver, Derick Dunmore always praised it up. I saw one on e-bay recently, it was Pentus Browns of Leighton Buzzard and with a roped and sheeted load, very evocative. Regards,Haddy, Gt. Yarmouth.
hi all,
last sunday myself and mate danny thomas went out with the camera,briton ferry wharf is near where danny lives and we found these tippers and shunters on the wharf,used for moving loads from vessels to the sheds.cheers danny mate.
this old fl is used for moving massive amounts of re-bar mainly used for the construction of the olympic village in london.
after leaving briton ferry wharf,danny and i then went to crynant to a real old 8 wheeler tipper graveyard.
Was YWN 914 J new to this operator?
