Has anyone out there got a good clear image of a Scania T-series?
I'm after one for my 'WebShots'.
I've seen quite a few over the past couple of months, but they're usually on the Motorways & inevitably travelling in the opposite direction.
I'd prefer an 'on the road' shot, it has to be a tractor unit, not a rigid.
Is that being too choosy?
Obviously You'd have to be willing to let me use it

Is that the one with the bonnet?

Yes it is.

Dont think the first one from my first post will be much good for you, its made of Lego! :lol:
-
Or these
-
Thanks, I'll have a browse of those later.
Saw another one this morning (on tanker duty) between jct 30 & 31 eastbound on the M62. Sadly I was heading west.
-
This is getting daft!
Earlier this afternoon I had a drive across to FerryBridge Services (A1/M62 interchange) to look for a 'T' in the truck park.
Couldn't see one, but as I was waiting to join the roundabout to head back up to the M62, guess what went past & shot off down the A1 southbound? :twisted: :twisted: :roll:
.
.
.
.
It was a white 4x2 tractor-unit going solo :roll:
-
Not a very common truck up here but ive got pics.
I'll look out the web site .
-
Add the Volvo N12 to the list please :D
-
:D
-
That's a nice rigid.
There's a haulage company in Wakefield (near the M1 at jct39) with a gorgeous restored N10 tractor-unit, but it's kept under cover & out of sight (until 'show season' starts)
Might have to go & hunt it out

Found some in a couple of albums at Daves Images (http://community.webshots.com/user/davesimages)

saw this at southwest truckfest

Now go back & take a picture without the Wheelie-Bin!!! :roll: :wink:
Thanks :D

:oops: :oops:
Just remembered.
There's a Scania main agent about 2miles away on the industrial estate down near the M62 (jct 31)
It might be a good place to go looking. :lol: :lol: :wink:
-
No luck, couuldnt find my fotos or my m8ts website.
A scania dealer is a very good place to start looking.

I went down the other day, it's a huge yard but there was no 'T's in sight.
I was about to go in & ask in reception, when I remembered I'd forgotten the camera :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

There's plenty on here though

Must be one of the best looking trucks in the country.
Barring some of the privately imported Kenworths & Peterbilts.

Seen them quite regularly on the M1, must have seen 3 today going up to Huddersfield. Not that easy to photo at 70 though :wink:
-
Well I was lucky with that one.
I was on the A1 (as I stated with the picture) & I saw it from a distance in a lay-by.
Quite by chance there was a layby opposite, so in I went.
Pulled my 'Hi-Viz' coat out of the back & slipped it on & went to take the picture.
Still, it's not too much fun wandering up the side of the A1 even for only 50yards, even on the other side of the armco.
Missed a 6x4 artic with a tanker on Tuesday on WoodHead Pass(A628). I'd seen it coming & set off running in the snow to get into a good position, as it was climbing up the drag towards the summit.
Just as it drew into shot, another artic came the other way..... :evil: :evil: :roll:
-
Why don't you have a ride up to Birstall,theres a Volvo dealer there who may have an N series tractor unit in.
Crossroads Commercials on Pheasant drive( other side of road to Pheasant pub) & lower down the road is an independant Land Rover guy
(4x41 in the old mill) on same side of Huddersfield Rd :wink:

Here's another couple for you from my model collection :wink:
If you are ever in Glossop around teatime there is always 2 or 3 Tinnellys come through Glossop from Snake Pass, sometimes a T-Bar.
From Salters Brook Bridge drop down the valley and take the B6105 on the left at Crowden, only a couple of miles into town centre :D

Crossroads used to be Iveco & (before that Atkinson, I think)
The '4x41' used to be up at East Ardsley behind the butchers shop near the old transport cafe (now Chinese takeaway)
Andy, I knnw that road very well, it used to be on one of my cycling routes;
Wakefield, Denby Dale, New Mills, Holmfirth, Holme-Moss, Glossop, Snake Pass, LadyBower, Strines (http://community.webshots.com/photo/156662918/157980095OASruy) & Penistone.
But I'll keep my eyes open when I'm down there anyway
About a 75/80miles round trip (door to door) & about 5hours, not counting dinner/pot of tea en-route
-
No Crossroads has always been Volvo, Northern Commercials & Archbolds
were Iveco, many moons ago I used to work for a firm that had a Fiat Daily LWB van,that was an absolute heap(lovingly known as the Filthy Fiat) it went to Archbolds for the MOT, it was so bad they hid it round the back :shock: !!!!
-

My mistake, it seems years since there was a dealer by the traffic lights at Bruntcliffe Road & Bruntcliffe Lane (or is my memory failing me again?
-
Had a look at Cross-Roads yesterday, no sign of a N-series in the yard. I even went down the waste site road & looked in the back of the yard.
-
there is a Hino dealer just a little way up the A650 from the Angel crossroads, near the Shell garage

The American circus was at the Old Post House near the Haigh roundabout

That was up near Scarborough last year when I was on hols, they had some nice gear there too, took a detour to have a nosey round :wink:

Is it still there??
I didn't realist till I went to ARCO the other day that Bridge Garage has another Peterbilt 'Wrecker' (http://community.webshots.com/photo/173144322/184380865cytKGc) that's in bits.
It's hidden away behind the others (you can just see the roof by the ERF at the left hand edge of frame)
-
:D Heres a couple of Scania pics for you... :D
-
Just remembered Richard - Glossop Motors have a Kenworth Bull Nose Wrecker - they are between Glossop Caravans and Dinting viaduct opposite Keroc Paints :wink:

Thanks Andy, funnily enough I actually saw that one yesterday in Dewsbury, it's got a radiator cover with Glossop Motors on it (or a painted grill?)
By the time I'd manged to turn around it had disappeared :cry:
Nice looking rig!
'Muky' thanks for those, the wrecker looks very familiar, someone else went to the same show??

Went to Magna Centre the other week with a coach load of kids and after turning left off Jct 34 M1 onto A6178 Sheffield Road noticed a garage on the right with some interesting trucks inside. Didnt get chance to go back for a look though

That'd be S Harrison Ltd. They still run several Scamell Highwayman artics, plus a sixties Foden and a few other interesting trucks, many of which are my age. They have a couple of Highwaymans converted to 42Tonnes, triple axles and all, frightening concept.
The family are famous, or should that be infamous, amongst local transport enthusiasts and his trucks have often been painted by local artist K Hudson, before is ilness.
One of their contracts was with local steel company KPS so I used to see the Highwayman on my way to work.

No, I went past a few days ago when I'd been taking the photos of the Bridge Chapel
'Yorkshire Scenes. 7' (http://community.webshots.com/album/190502805ZJiTow) & it's next door to 'Pulse'.

That'll be the place - at a quick glance there were some very old trucks inside with more moss growing on them than my window channels :D

Saw 3, count them!, 3[/i] T-cabs yesterday whilst doing my 'Great North Road' run.
One near Thurnscoe, one on the A1 at Markham Moor & the other near FerryBridge on the return trip.
Lifes not fair!!!!
-
I've done the 'great north road' a couple of times myself, from London up to Newcastle on account of my best mate at Uni living there. Fantastic road, especiallly when you're a young man and think nothing of driving all night.

I've done the 'great north road' a couple of times myself, from London up to Newcastle
When we took the BWSOW up to Berwick-upon-Tweed, I was very surprised how the traffic seemed to almost melt awayto the north of Newcastle.
Once Morpeth is reached it's like a good country road, with lots of recognisable features like pubs & houses that would have been involved with the coaching trade
Fantastic road, especiallly when you're a young man and think nothing of driving all night.
I agree, especially if you can follow/figure out the old alignment & the pre-bypasses/route alteration sections.
Occasionally the route goes through town centres & gets awkward.
Don't forget that pre-mid 1700's it was differant again, then the 'Turnpikes' really came into being & the roads improved.
The old road over Shap (the A6) is another superb route, it was the main route up the west coast to Scotland pre-M6.
I could continue, but it would be hi-jacking my own thread & it requires a new topic, perhaps a 'Favourite Roads' thread?
Any takers for that?
-
The A6 over Shap, arn't the fields to either side still littered with the rusting remains of many heavy goods vehicles that went a little too fast?

There used to be, but I think they've been 'cleaned up' a bit.
There's a great little book (http://www.gingerfold.com/transport_archive_series.htm) about this route, it's very informative (got a copy downstairs in my 'Snug')
There's also a video (http://www.classic-tractors.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Trucks_and_Road_Transport_49.html) (some nice videos there. ie; 'Scamell Recovery' :D
I wanted to 'do' Shap whilst we were up at Windermere but the closest I got was Kendal (http://community.webshots.com/photo/308675187/308987783XfdUCU), the old route of the A6 through the centre is now probably the quiestest it's ever been

:D
Got one this morning :D
A friend of mine (the one with the Mines Rescue Atkinson) had told me about a haulage company who's boss had bought an Atkinson my mate wanted.
Anyway, it turns out that they run a T-Series, so I nipped over that way on my little 'laning' trip this morning & it was parked up.
Well Tasty!! (http://community.webshots.com/album/344259581PPEwmR)

Silly morning yesterday for the T-Series.
1. Spotted east-bound on M62 between jct 30 & 31. I was heading west. Tanker
2. Garforth. A63 (Leeds), & it was a STGO 6x4 tractor unit with a low-loader & large 360 excavator :evil:
3. Wakefield. Chantry Bridge. 4x2 tractor-unit. Tipper trailer
Every time it would have been far too awkward to even 'grab' a shot :evil: :evil:
Oh well, have to wait for 'TruckEast' (http://www.theeventsoffice.co.uk/pages/truckeast.html)
Ought to be plenty of scope there :D

You need to go to scandinavia, it would be your wet dream, these bonneted trucks are ten a penny. I should have taken you some piccys, lots of really old 40's - 70's stuff in daily use too!

Yes Please
I saw a white T-Series yesterday. It had Severn-Trent Water decals on the doors (out of its area??) & hitched to a 'Biffa Waste' tanker.
It was a 6x2 (rear lift-axle)
Must've been empty as it set off from the lights like crazy
'Rolling Thunder'
Very nice photos, but the ERF(?) with the shunting locomotive also looks like a Hotel at Morecambe down at the southern end of town
