Yes that’s the company Dave, don’t know where I got Lampeter from :confused: they had some TM’s with Detroits in, I think they ran timber to Kronospan at Chirk and steel back from Shotton. I used to see them in the Lion cafe at Gobowen.

Hi Dave , Lovely fleet R&B ,especially the former AEC Mandators on steel work that Tastrucker has mentioned . They really looked the business at Margham .
Dave i can remember them when they had the contract retrieving rails and sleepers from the former Mid Wales railway , i think the stretch was from Builth up to Llanidloes . It was back then the AECs and their was also a Leyland Comet artic as well . regards Keith

That’s them Keith, I have asked Paul if he has any pics of the AEC’s and the older motors, so hopefully he will stick them on. He’s come up with a few each day. As you say their fleet has always looked smart.
Cheers Dave.
