HitchinLoco Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi Merv, Found this one from the 60's Hitchin Herts based. My late father often used it on the weekend workings. Thought it was a bit sharper in my memory! Hope it is useful? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Close up of the area, poss Peterborough? Definitely Peterborough; the shed is typical of many around the country designed to handle large amounts of Sundries traffic (Sheffield, Stoke and Tyneside are others that spring to mind) under the Freight Concentration Scheme. Just after they were built, the government hived off the Sundries traffic to NCL, part of the road-orientated National Freight Corporation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot to add but always an interesting assortment of vehicles to be seen. When built in the late 50s there were a number of internal electric mechanical horses, converted I think from Morrison electric horses with the cab top half removed, OK on a nice day ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm on the search for one of these, what are the chances of finding one that hasn't rotted back to nature? Cheers Shane 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Or one of these if I really have to, which is probably an easier option but has less character. Cheers Shane 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Shane There are still some decent LDV pilots which you could possibly use as a donor shell. You have to have a the original Sherpa Perkins as that is the sound of 80s Britain. I know a place who will do you the graphics 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks Russ, there are potential donors out there! I just want something that looks the part. Paint can be change so colour isn't an issue. I have more to go on now. Cheers Shane 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2017 The colour is highway yellow. I quite fancy a Sherpa 400 mess and tool van,could be made to look like a BR van on the outside but equipped as a camper internally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
