Back again folks. Truly great to see pictures of past events like this. Having been a “trucker” for 10 years back in the 1970s/80s, it brings back memories of those days. I only found YOUTUBE the other day-the trucks on there! My last employer was, still is in heavy haulage near SUTTON COALFIELD moving oversize loads all over the world. I e-mailed him last week-turned out he’s in Canada, filming for Discovery-again! He, like myself have this passion for STEAM locos. Had to give up work due to pump problems after a tripple bypass 4 years ago. Please people, keep the steam coming! Trucks too of course!
