Thanks for the pics Stan. I saw Tracy Williams on the road today.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Don’t know how he’s rolled a tipper over when carrying iron ore it flows like water
did some during a rail strike, Teesside to Consett I found the body would empty if
raised only a foot or two. something must have snapped or given way.
thanks harry, long retired.

Maybe the loader driver chucked it all on one side?

Maybe the loader driver chucked it all on one side?

Hiya,
For a full load on that trailer the load wouldn’t be more than a couple of feet deep and
the first bit of rough ground and the load would have levelled itself as smooth as a mill
pond and would near enough empty itself by just opening the tailgate.
thanks harry, long retired.

I know, H, just trying to make excuses for the driver!
