Classic Trucks, Wagons

[Venod]

Been over that bridge this morning, now a traffic free footbridge, it had a lot of old York Stone large paving slabs, that were gradually being pinched, they have recently refurbished the surface and put bollards up.

@Venod

I presume you're referring to 'Hartleys Bridge' at FerryBridge?
The book cover is of the bridge at Sandy, in Bedfordshire





Taken after the 'new' A1 opened

I was slightly unsure where to put this link to the Yorkshire Post, but I guess as one of the primary reasons for the 'GNR' is trade (1), it can go in the trucks & wagons thread

1. In Micklefield (which was on the GNR, between the intersection with the M62. & HookMoor, where the M1 merges), there's a very well tended flowerbed that states;

Frank Goddards book is also excellent, illustrated in the 'Wainwright style'

Nice photo of a Bedford S type on the cover, there will have been a lot of those tramping up & down the A1 back then, as well as the RL military variants too, seen as North Yorkshire has many Army camps and RAF stations

I was indeed referring to the Ferrybridge Bridge, that appears in the Yorkshire Post link, but I did think the picture on the front of the book was the one and same.

I have 3 albums (& a 4th, 'in progress') of 'GNR' photographs on my FaceBook pages
The vast majority are of the route as it was, pre dual-carriageway/M-way standard
They portray the route it took through various towns & villages, from Newark-on-Trent, all the way up to Berwick-upon-Tweed

me thinks some one at Iveco has seen an S-works bike, also claims to be unstoppable,

Unlike Iv*cos themselves, which are pretty much unstartable.

FAUN Koloss
Ex 'ALE'
These are big, that's a full size MAN (or Berliet) sleeper cab, converted to crew-cab
The walkways are about 2 foot wide, and (circa) 5' 6" to the platform!!

There's also a bigger 8x8 derivative!

A Scammell Contractor isn't exactly a small truck, but next to the FAUN.........................
