oldknotty Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I would like to find some pictures of vintage cement lorries circa 1950 - 1960 's .I am hoping to model a couple for my layout and am finding it hard to locate decent pictures of them . I could use both the type used to transport from the railways and the types used to deliver ready mix to the sites please :-) Thanks for any help Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Have you tried searching on Flickr, if you search "Blue Circle lorry" there are quite a few pictures of the Foden's and Guy's used around the time you are looking for. The bodies are a scratch build job, worth looking at this thread although most of the pictures are of the 70's onwards. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/46732-cement-lorries/?hl=cement Langley do a nice Concrete Mixer of the right period based on a Foden chassis, again try flickr for the photos.

emac Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I found a collection of films on utube where BRS lorries were used to transport cement for a hydro Electric scheme from Killin Railway Station well worth a watch and a step back in time 4.08 mins in is interesting no power steering in those days !!
