The Classic Machinery Network

Anything over ten years old and still at it , roughly Y reg and before or anything British !
Occurred to me recently that we are in the last decade when British trucks are still a common sight
These two old ERF EC11'S and the Foden operate between Teesport and the Wilton Container Terminal carrying the long containers , a distance of about two miles which makes them bloody hard to get a pic of ! unusually they are all ballast tractors , something to do with taxation and/or heavier gross weights because I believe this makes them 'Locomotives'

my first truck was a L reg volvo f12 405 hp sorry i sold it now they are a nice classic now.

Hi John . The F series Volvo's were a classic that one's a minter but it wasn't when I got it. Really I'd love an F16 but you cant find them. Really nice interior and good to drive but, by god, I'd love more horsepower!

As for your scania, I regularly drive one locally but its only a 420 straight 6 but its a nice truck. The 14 litre in yours must make quite a difference. What are you going to do for next year then to comply with the LEZ?

Not all Renaults rust away This lot are still in daily use..........
