I have a lot of pictures of Ivor Duggan and Sons fleet to put on here soon, going back to 1971.

Roberts ran a lot of these tractor units pulling tipping trailors out of the quarries in the 80’s and 90’s until He sold up

Stephen J Weaver runs a fleet of tippers from Ludlow, also a couple of artics with curtain siders.

nice pics you have got. I used to see the c w griffiths foden m500mfo regularly working with an owner driver in a tarmac quarry near to porthmadog. But he wrote it off about 2 years ago on an icy morning when he slid off the road into a wall.

I have probably scanned the pics to big, if so, can anyone say if they prefer them smaller, cheers Dave
