Classic Trucks, Wagons

[Richard A Thackeray]

I've seen this in a couple of the truck magazines recently

As much as I like Scania T-Cabs, this is a nice conversion!!!!
(It was a standard S-Way; cab-over engine/forward-control)

I'm weekend off then (I think?), so I'm planning on attending https://www.truckfest.co.uk/ (the 'Original', at Newark) on Saturday 2nd October

I realise that the Sunday may possibly have more entrants/exhibitors - if they allow the trucks to move with spectators/visitors in close proximity?

However, on Sunday 3rd, it's Thornes Park Cyclo-Cross (Wakefield)
Which was (when I was competing) my 'home event', & I still watch when I can

Wednesday 8th

Manchester Road (A628; 'Woodhead Pass' at the other side of The Flouch roundabout))
Millhouse Green
Penistone

It's been there for a lot of years

I'm not sure if it's a Venturer, Silver Knight, or Borderer?

Carmelo, Uruguay 2007 was interesting for the many really old cars and trucks still in use (quality of photos in line with mobile phone quality then)

1940s perhaps, decanting from another truck.

Caught this one as he was approaching the taxi i was in, 1950s, maybe 1960s ?

The one thing that struck me about Uruguay (where i was at least), was how much of the countryside was pretty similar to the UK.

I think the top one is Bedford O-Type of some sort. My brother had one which he resored with my dad (actually, I think I did more work on it than my bro ).

The bottom one is bugging me. My spotting skills are weak today.

Late 1920s, early 30s i remember at the time looking at and recognising the manufacturer...but its long since forgotten.

One's a horribly old fashioned, dreadful to drive, slow, noisy comically badly made pile of scrap. The other is an Atkinson.

We (not I) are, apparantly going to Truckfest
But............ heading down with the BWSOW on the Friday afternoon, & coming back either Sunday tea-time, or on Monday morning
That is, if we can get in, at any of the local sites), I fancy this one because of its location, adjacent to a fantastic 260 year old piece of civil engineering (by a Yorkshire lad!)
Which I've seen a few times. & crossed

Sadly, this will mean that I won't be able to get to the Thornes Park Cyclo-Cross....... unless we can't find a site, & I get told to go down by myself for the day?

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Booked the site mentioned directly above, for Friday & Saturday
I didn't really expect to get in, due to the show

And, as stated, I won't get to Thornes Park CX
(I can't make the other 'local' CXs either, as I'm working on those Sundays... 'Bugger!')

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

These should be at Truckfest!!

DIY tuning for a Mack…

 

[tyred]

Not sure what section this fits in but an old fire tender. It has an engine but is clearly horse drawn with no drive to the axle. Also has. Fiat engine which isn't what I expected.
