Carrying On - Older Trucks in Use
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 1:28 pm
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'
