Graham gah1950sent me these pic’s,already on the Welsh Border Thread,but as Graham’s from the south of Wales,here they are.

Next batch is a loading shovel which Graham moved.

A Volvo FH16 with a little lad,who is possibly Graham’s Grandson.

And now some more of the plant that Graham shifts with the big Scania.

komatsu 450, great photos. This one takes me back to the days of HY-MAC when my friends father would deliver 580 wheeled loader/diggers on a 6 wheel Dodge tipper. It was a dropside tipper working on brewery grains, and general haulage.

Regards Paul

I,d like to thank Aled Jones which used to drive the foden 8 wheeler for langs

hiya,
Surely not going very far with that unit the mudguards are just about rubbing on the tyres and it’s parked up i think i’d like a double drive job before setting off, and i have done a bit of that sort of work.
thanks harry long retired.

hiya,
Moved this one to the front from way back just to see if anyone disagrees with me, nobody has said i’m wrong for a while, courting trouble??.
thanks harry long retired.

G’day Andy mate,
I was going through my Kenworth pics and I found this one taken at Truckfest South West 1990. I’m pretty sur it’s a T600,a bit unusual being a single screw.

What sort of work did it do,do you know mate?
