What was he doing going out there!!! 
many years ago,ken ran these two tippers.i think?that leyland was later owned by chris morgan from pontardawe?
more recently here’s a large scania mixer feeding one of ken’s pumps.
here’s ken in a far warmer place than his native ammanford ,standing by a gmc general with what to me looks like holmes 750 gear on it?my mate mechanic77 would know.

Good to see a few motors from South Wales up there. Bit sad to see the green ERF TTX 400S in the auction. When I spoke to the guy at Abergavenny show last year he was so keen, maybe his circumstances have changed. Also sad to see the 1933 Commer breakdown truck go under the hammer as this was new to Trio Motor Services in Cathays in Cardiff. Plus the TK tipper which also came from Brynmawr. Sad to see them leave South Wales.

hiya,
Tidily sheeted Pete359, but not well sheeted the sheet should continue over the head board to ensure absolute dryness of the cargo, now you can call me a nit picking old goat or anything you like, but i was a perfectionist.
thanks harry long retired.

I remember them being based on the Polo grounds estate near Pontypool, wasn’t aware of a Monex connection though. [saw a Monex artic in Mitchel Troy services on way to show saturday]
I think it was Tony Dumelow who had the red Transcon from Merthyr, he was from the Rogerstone/Risca area as you said but haven’t seen or heard of the truck being around for years. He was a big Transconti fan and had a large display of them in model form too I recall.
this transcon belonged to andrew powell based on polo grounds estate pontypool.
Thats the one, I remember him having a few Transcontinentals, a big Scania, Bedford TM and later some Ivecos. Was on the cover of Trucking international many years ago.
