All I’m missing is the smell of the diesels & the steam smoke along with the taste of the dust. Wonderfull!! ❤️❤️ My late father would have adored this video, such memories
have now been to gdsf for a number of years, great day out, have now collected 84 scale models of Pickford trucks, and have built from scratch scammell constructor puc 475 and a scammell explorer both in 12th scale, after seeing restored Pickford's trucks at the show.
Brings back memories of standing in the primary school playground in the mid 60s and watching in awe as the Pickford lorries came along the A12 taking huge loads to the Sizewell power station that was being built!
same here in Gloucester, coming out of fielding and Platt factory, have now got 84 scale models of Pickford's trucks, including two 12th scale scratch built by me.
Loved this video. I could hear the Lister engine at the rear of the Pickford's low boy . I can only assume it was running hydraulics for the steering etc. Nice video.👍
how fantastic is that the old steam engines out showing how they perform what a sit to see whished I could be there on the day watching al these the engines yours a fan of engines
And the Fodens will still be pulling the trailer long after the Vovo has gasped its last. Things are no longer made to last, planned obselescence is more profitable.
martin Jeffery: You are living in the past. Empire days are behind her, Leaving the EU will not bring back those days. But who cares, once the former empire can have blue passports again its irrelevant that its going backwards to being a 3rd World country ha ha , foolish little Englanders . . .

martin Jeffery: Let me stop you right there. I used to live in that cesspit that you call "great" Britain. Still visit it often enough so that I can use the NHS for free. I was smart though. I went in, got as much as I could, lived in a council flat for a bit, bought 2 houses eventually and moved back to the Tropics. Oh, btw, my 2 houses are all rented out to old and poor ignorans like you, funding my expensive hobbies, traveling and life in the sun lol

wow that is so cool!! wish I was there.
Impressive!
Loving those Foden's. Well loving it all really, but those Fodens.. Wow :)
Oh.. and the Pickfords trailer.
Would the Fodens have had Gardner engines?
wonder how many horses you would need in the old days
Fantastic
Nowadays just one Volvo FH 750 would pull that , shows how things have moved on..
And the Fodens will still be pulling the trailer long after the Vovo has gasped its last.

Heavy haulage is not so much about power, but more so about traction and ballast.
It's about the torque the power the traction
What would the power unit in the Foden have been? Gardner perhaps?
Mike Houghton a very underpowered unit probbaly can't pass 20mph down a hill as it's geared so short just one pull like 20kg lol
wow that pickfords lead foden with that trailer alone must look fantastic. do you have a big shed.my wife would gun me down,
Andrew Wilkinson you must be English, with the mother in law joke, long live Les Dawson hahahaha
