Nice one there Dave of the 113 parked up. would be good blown up and framed and hung on the wall. Everything just fits and looks right, be nice as a postcard as well.

A man after my own heart. Mervyn Thomas of Radnorshire. Mervyn is a Radnorshire bloke like myself, and keeps the old County name going. Emblazened on his fleet of over fifty lorries and 100 + trailers is Mervyn Thomas with Radnorshire back and front. Another thing about Mervyns fleet is the livery,its the colours of the firm he drove for, Roberts Transport of Knighton,he started there on a Transit and worked his way up to an Atkinson artic. Here is part of his fleet parked in his Eardisley yard.

Still doing the job he loves. Mervyn Thomas, behind the wheel of one his Scania’s ,shunting units and trailers around this afternoon, in one his yards,getting them ready for monday


The Boss’s moter,nobody drives this other than Mervyn himself. Mervyn says this is the only N series Scania in this Country thats not a V8.


A MAN of Mervyn Thomas,loaded with Dumpers,this is one of the many makes that Mervyn operates. At the moment his own favourate is the Iveco of which he has several,also in his fleet are Scania,Volvo,Daf and ERF,with a few Renault Magnum’s and a Premium.


Another MAN of Mervyn’s,with a Larchlap trailer,which is one of his customers.

Hi John,
Tracy my other half was worried about the light when she took that pic,shadow etc. It was taken while on the move,although I did slow right down as there was nothing behind me.
Cheers Dave.

It’s come out ok Dave looks natural that’s what drew me to it. Just one of those things I saw it and thought that would look good on the wall.

Cheers

John.


Scania 3 seriess plus an ERF, parked in one of Mervyn Thomas sheds.The Scania is still in use,not sure about the ERF,could be a yard shunter.

If anyone has a seventies Bedford TK for sale,or knows of one,either a M,N or P reg. Mervyn Thomas is looking to purchase one.

Dave - did you see the letter from Jean Sharples in Commercial Motor the other week ?

Hi Steve,
Yes I did see Jean’s letter,she has over the years written in several times. She always makes a good point.
Cheers Dave.


A nice line up of some of Mervyn Thomas, tractor units at his Eardisley depot,not sure who the red Scania belongs to,possibly a subbie.


A rare sight,a Mervyn Thomas four wheeler,this one delivers Framewise products.
