These are superb pics Clockworklozenge-have you got any more Ward Bros pics please? Tim

Will see if i can get over Ward Bros sometime soon to catch a shot of their former scammell heavy haultractor which i hear is to be refurbished?? as i last saw it (and not too long ago at that ) it was in a right state!!

That would be great-we heard it was being restored here's a pic of iton dumper duties-thanks for the FH16 pics Tim

Some very good pictures, thanks (I nearlly did noy look when it said Northern )

Funny to think thr Scammell was fitted with an old BMC cab Tim.

Does anyone think i should change the title of this thread perhaps??-

With regard to the scammell i was talking to an older friend of mine just the other day - i mentioned the scammell and asked if wards had aquired it from new-direct from the dealer-my mate reckons they ( wards ) bought the truck believing it was new but it had actually spent 2 years parked at a dockside in storage?? apparantly parts were an immediate issue also -still a beatiful truck and i hope when -(if ? )they restore it they stick the sleeper unit back behind the cab and not the dump body-

I was also told the scammell was bought by ward bros to replace an older lowloader which was trashed when it became stuck in stanhope ford during heavy flooding with a 50t dumper on the back - apparantly both ended up somewhere downstream on their sides ,does anyone remember this ? or is it just hear say??

Very nice photos Chris, some very interesting subjects too!
