kevblokey Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks, yes that makes more sense. Not quite sure why the link in the OP went in that way but there you are.

Merfyn Jones Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A thread on Bedford TKs has brought out an interesting oddity, a lorry in Rail blue.

jcb 3c Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Some nice Scammell illustrations assume from real life , particularly like the Wightlink Townsman with reversed arrows . http://www.henderson-tele.com/cat/Scammell/Containers.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats right...then why? Some sort of distinction from the railway? Never got that one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of distinction from the railway? Never got that one! Reversed only on the port side of the funnel. So the arrow always pointed to the bow. Reminded me of 'Station Taxis' that I saw in Doncaster on Saturday, with wrong way double arrows on the cab doors. Merf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of thing some body copies and it appears on layouts or even worse a manufacturer sees and copies, then people think it must be right. My little rant, but I'm sorry, I do like to see things right. I do not believe that if it's on the internet , it must be right. Merf. A very bad example is the Scammell Scarab in Swindon museum in GWR livery. Should know better. Edited February 11, 2013 by Merfyn Jones 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb 3c Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Ok when I try link , the picture is narrow at first so are you clicking on the right rh side tab ? Shame about the Sealink story of the arrow being reversed to form an S is fiction , some people are inventive!! Totally agree about keeping the written word correct . I rather like the style of the illustrations though . Edited February 11, 2013 by jcb 3c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) My 1st thought that the sd bus, and the one on the left were preserved Blackpool buses. However the white one on the right - J411NCP - I googled, and came up with Wealden PSV Sales, and another Flicker pic, with the tail end of the BRUFF on it! Does this help at all? Maybe this dealer could tell you where it is?

andye Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Also have a look here, in google maps, look around the back of Etches Park shed, and zoom right in, there appears to be a Coles crane and a ex BR van!, This cant be that old an image... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=de24+8up&hl=en&ll=52.910416,-1.453483&spn=0.000205,0.0006&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=6.581428,19.665527&hnear=Derby+DE24+8UP,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=21 Cheers Ringo Following business at etches park by a friend today , sadly these two are no longer there.

ringo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Andy, the large lettering "EMERGENCY RAIL RESCUE", was only applied to those BRUFFs in EWS service, all the other BRUFFS had varients of BR lettering or other "localised" lettering. The only problem with the "Southern" BRUFFS, they used Lukas lifting equipment, which used a single control pipe, whereas the rest of the country used twin pipe MFD lifting equipment. The one shown is a Lukas varient. Other than that it looks to be remarkibly original, Cheers Ringo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I forgot there was bruffs and the like not owned by EWS, the one in that picture doesnt look too bad, depending of course when the pic was taken! In this months Classic and Vintage Commercial, there is an ex BR Dodge Commando crewbus for sale, been convereted into a hippy home "needs tidying and a sympathetic new owner" hmmmm.......
