Although called a caisson 'gate' it is actually a vessel in its own right. The caisson is a hollow vessel built from wood and steel which, when flooded with water, was sunk down into channels at the head of the dock so that the water could be pumped out of the dock via the pumps in the pump house
I agree,I drove wws158t,ERF b series,with a 265 rolls,and a fuller box,with a tipper tank,for R&W Febrys,out of blue circle at Westbury,bit of an animal,but I loved every minute, halcyon days.
The truck or at lease the number plate is ex Isle of Wight Registration DL plates were for the Island, I would say ex Vectis Transport, nice truck looking good
Box body!! we were going to put another beavertail on to take classic cars to shows but decided to keep the tow hitch on and either trailer them or tow with a dolly hopefully!!
As a young boy ,i always remember seeing these iconic trucks when Dad took us all to see extended family ,usually London to Manchester on motorways in the old Ford Zephyr . I remember some had Gardner badges on grille , overtaking i always used to look out of rear back window(no seat belts then) to admire this great looking truck,and to see how much working black smoke was coming out the exhaust pipe at the front wheel of the truck. The driver smoking a fag ,gearjamming on his way , great memories, thanks for sharing your vid.
Looks and sounds good, if only we had smelly vision. Only thing that smells better than a diesel truck is a diesel truck with tarmac load on the back lol.
Would really appreciate the two lorry drivers who hit my bus on saturday in New Galloway to own up and report the accident. The police will eventually catch up with you both for a hit and run, fail to stop, and damage to my bus.

This brings back memories for me, I built a Spartan in 1983/84. Mine, the later Cortina based version, was also painted in British Racing Green.
Proper lorries. Not the rubbish they make now..

Thats a beauty. ERF, Foden always make me smile they seem to be alive!
My Dad drove those ERF's all week sleep in the cab, Hard plywood sheet over the Big Engine cover,
Real beauty that nice colour combo
Love These Old Lorries, But Better Than The 💩 They Make Nowadays 🇬🇧💪🏻👍🏻

The truck or at lease the number plate is ex Isle of Wight Registration DL plates were for the Island, I would say ex Vectis Transport, nice truck looking good
Spot on it spent all its life in IOM
@spartankc the registion plate is Isle of Wight, which is off the south coast of England, not the IOM have seen this truck in shows on the IoW
Love the truck , remember seeing loads of these on the road in the late 60s, when I use to go on trips in my dads lorry

Is it a remanufacture engine ?
No it's the original engine
@@spartankc but it's blue, the remanufactured were sprayed blue. Is there a date on it. Should be under the cambox half shaft.
I have to check but as far as I'm aware it's the original
@@spartankc no problem mate, it may of had a top end on it, at some point
@@carllockpick6179 you're spot on it is a remanufactured engine from perkins Manchester
It’s In Good Order
Mezzo favoloso

Nice lorrie
Nice
Lovely looking Atkinson, spotlessly clean, in their day these trucks were the king's of the road, keep on trucking 👍
Eaton twin splitter, how many of today's drivers could drive this? One of the best gearboxes ever made
Not many
No many my dad use to use the fuller . Now passed
Cummins m11 twin splitter what could be better 🤷♂️
Gardners, engines like Swiss clockworks. A mate of mine has got two French Bernard lorries. One has a Gardner 150 the other one has a 180.
There was so much wind noise it was difficult to tell when it was running.
Sorry that was the erf beside it ticking over
Nomadic - is people going from a place to another
What?
@@oscartapia1409He means that the SS Nomadic is a tender for ships. Tender: Was built for transferring passengers and mail to other ships.
Well Trying not to burst your bubble but, The SS Nomadic isnt an Formal Tender ship anymore its an museum ship..
My fiancée said Beautiful erf brilliant job done on her fantastic
🚛👍🤩
Everyone forgets other classics eh ! V8 Scania is all you hear about !!!
Looks and sounds good, if only we had smelly vision. Only thing that smells better than a diesel truck is a diesel truck with tarmac load on the back lol.
That is the cutest truck ever!
