The question is, would the Maples lorry have been a subsidy lorry? I had imagined that all subsidy lorry's started life in a military capacity. Robert

Leyland ST king pin construction is almost identical. The thrust bearings are German DWF. Any makers marks on your thrust bearings?
-
I wonder if Rod Dux has come across any information in the AWM? Are you there Rod?

Gudday Kieth. It has been a while since we came across each other in South Melbourne. You have/had a photos of a couple of my White M3A1 wrecks on your website. I now find myself more interested in the WW1 transport era. This site is without peer for early transport and its restoration. I look forward to reading the book... Mike is another acquaintance from the past. All the best Robert (Sandy) Stewart

Richard I understand that many pre-subsidy lorries/vans went to the front early in the war. Do you happen to know whether information sources exist in this regard? Thanks Robert
-
Than you for posting. These train ferry's have filled a gap in my understanding of materiel movement. I have an interest in the siege brigades and movement of the big howitzers. I don't suppose you have come across any such photos? Robert

What a puzzle. I have photos of a Packard and a Breeding (5 ton steamer) with very similar dished front-wheels. Beyond that the similarities end. Could it be American?
-
This photo is a gem. It is a very rare photo of a Leyland T type c1909. It was a smaller/lighter development of the X type retaining some features, but with a new T class back axle. Note the early composite wheels and Y type radiator. If anyone happens to have other photos of these units I would be most interested to see them. I am restoring a Leyland ST. Very similar to the above but not quite as early. The ST has electric steel wheels and larger 'curved' cowl. They were utilised in the early days of WW1 until replaced by the 'very modern' subsidy pattern lorries. Robert

Best guesses Left - a Ryknield - do any of this marque exist today? Centre - this could be a Leyland X2 class, alternatively it could also be a W class. W were a similar but heavier model. Most likely built 1909 judging from the number plate B2180 (bit fuzzy and best guess at numbers). Also the wheels are very early composites. Right - no idea, although the radiator is reminiscent of the Milnes Daimler. Robert

Those whites are very impressive. Makes you wonder how they survived two wars.
-
Enlightenment perhaps. I have been reading Rod Dux's Benzine Lancers. There appear to be two photos of similar vehicles on page 30. The Swiss made chassis for the war effort. Could it be a Berna?
-
Speaking of the draglink things - what is the correct terminology? Daimler used them...
-
Has anyone any idea what make of lorry this might be???
-
The 13th photo is a lovely shot of a wartime vehicle chassis. Any ideas what it could be?
-
Is there anything else of interest under the shrubbery?
-
Have had a look at the high res photo. Thanks. The fairly unique-looking sub-frame suggests to me it is a Maudslay. Is it identical to the one being restored at the Coventry Transport Museum? Robert
-
Yes. I'd like to see that chassis in greater detail too. PM sent. Cheers

New shed. More space. New lorry!?
-
Any news about this huge Renault? -
The old farm Landy. Early 50's model. Broken springs, shackles rusted through, gleaming aluminium - on account of all the paint wore off over the years. One day it was parked on a steepish section of hill. The driver got out... and it rolled side over side down to the creek. The ground was soft, the windscreen was bolted flat, and the few minor dents gained just added a bit of character. No other Landrover could replace it! I still have one door and the original fuel tank.

I've just looked up "diamond stack" on the interent and discovered the world of spark-arresting. If there had been a mini railroad nearby I might never have become interested in trucks! Robert
-
Enjoyed the films. A credit to the IWM. I was reminded that horse and dray were not so long ago kings of the road.
-
Sold for GBP 1,131.66 Can we look forward to a blow by blow restoration of this really really interesting unit? Robert
-
Looks to me like the word is KRIT ... made cars 1909–1916 based in Detroit.
-
Out with Milnes Daimler... in with Thornycroft! Here is another photo of a truck, again ascribed to the former make! What do you make of it?
