Hi there i was in Watts office in bridlington and they have some old foden tipper pictures in reception! might be worth contacting them regarding your request :bulb:

Thanks chris,did a search came up with this wcwatts.co.uk/ on gallery for 14 pages of photos,the photo with all the fodens lined up is on main page.Thaks again,regards paul.

W Clifford Watts last working Foden this photograph was taken in march 2014 shortly before being taken out of service the driver Robbie patterick giving his wagon wash and brush up

Thanks Quarryman,wonder what they are using now.Nothing to touch the Fodens.

I met lots of their tippers and mixers last week in North Yorkshire, but unfortunately was in the wrong vehicle to get any pics.
Cheers Dave.

The one I took has tinted windows Paul, which isn’t much good for pics. Keep getting a reflection off the dashboard on the pic. Try and use my older vehicle when we take pics.
Cheers Dave.

This Thames Trader 872 BBT 1 of a batch of 18 put into service in March 1964 with driver Roy Watson stood on the tipper side watching over the loading

I think I once saw a photo on here somewhere, of the man standing in front of lots of Fodens. I don’t know what it was on, try a search. Good luck.
