me thinks some one at Iveco has seen an S-works bike, also claims to be unstoppable, wait till it runs out of diesel, they'll get a surprise, I've also got no idea why we have to have those health & safety stickers on the doors proclaiming "Angles Mort" has nobody twigged they're only any good in France, certain Quebecois areas of Canada, & anywhere else that speaks French

The "Angles Mort" stickers seem to be the current trend at the moment. They do say that French is the language of cycling....

Any truck (over 3.5 tonnes i think) travelling through France is required by law to have the Angles Mort stickers, inevitably we see more of them here but it's purely a French thing.
For the wider audience, I still never got an answer why some heavy trucks have STGO plates on them, what does STGO mean/signify (apart from the obvious, its a heavy load ) Is it a British licencing thing ?

That explains the Angles Mort thing. Now I though France was in the EU so couldn't just go off and do its own thing

STGO - Special Types General Order. The "exceptions" that enable vehicles to be used on the road at weights or dimensions beyond what are allowed under Construction & Use. For example, over 44T, over-width, over length, long overhangs, etc. Vehicles used under STGO have other requirements such as reduced speed limits, additional lighting, Escort vehicles, 2nd-man (person).

Monday 7th
Foss Bank & Jewbury junction
(Fosse Island area)
York

Mercedes-Benz
Arocs 370

Presumably this type of truck is classified as 'Mobile Plant'(?). hence the extra axle, as volumetric (concrete) mixers, etc.... run to design weights, not plated?

10x4, with a 'rear-steer'

I wonder if it had a sign on it, to help deter the 'pilfering classes' that states 'No Stools Left In This Vehicle Overnight!'

At junction with Wood Lane (‘Jaw-Bones’)

Pelican Engineering still exists, but it’s now at Normanton Europort, near jct31/M62
It’s a MAN & DAF dealer now

Spotted, in a shop window, whilst walking round to the local ASDA, earlier

This was always a good little show, with some interesting vehicles turning up

It’s on the A628, between Pontefract & Ackworth
(with entry by the ‘Plague Stone’ & Water Tower)

Examples, from past 'Scammell Gatherings' (as it used to be known)

A nice change from all of the minaturised Traction Engines!

I was slightly unsure where to put this link to the Yorkshire Post, but I guess as one of the primary reasons for the 'GNR' is trade (1), it can go in the trucks & wagons thread

1. In Micklefield (which was on the GNR, between the intersection with the M62. & HookMoor, where the M1 merges), there's a very well tended flowerbed that states;


Frank Goddards book is also excellent, illustrated in the 'Wainwright style'
