R&b Transport wasnt that Rhys and Bufton ? As a lad i can remember there AECs at the Abbey … With out doubt one of the smartist fleets to grace the works at that time !.. They did timed deliveries to the likes of Vauxhall at Ellesmere Port .
Dave and Keith either of you two learned gents …, i am sure will put me right … Geraint .

You are spot on Geraint. Rice & Bufton is what R & B stand for. I think Paul who owns it now is possibly Harry Rice Grandson.
Cheers Dave.


Here’s a couple more of R & B’s old wagons Geraint. If you look back through this thread I have quite few pics of their old one’s which Paul lent me.
Cheers Dave.

Could be possibly Builth or Rhayader Railway Station’s which were closed by Beeching in the early 1960’s, as were a lot of track and stations in Mid Wales Keith.
Chers Dave.

Dave the Renegade:

Renault eight legger bulk blower,seen on the A4112 at Kinnersley, Herefordshire.

That ain’t no bulker Dave; it’s my motor though not me driving it!

Looks more like this from the side;

He’d probably be going up to Mortimer’s Cross, got a regular drop up there.

Sorry about that Sidevalve. I automatically thought it was a bulker when I uploaded the pic, and looking at the wagon from the front. I didn’t notice on the day we met the vehicle. Thanks for the other pic.
Cheers Dave.
