Default Few pictures from Riverside 2013
Few pictures from this weekends rally at riverside. Brilliant day Saturday, very busy and perfect weather. Sunday was dull with showers but a fair few people still braved it.

It belongs to John Johnson, and has recently been rebuilt from a pile of rotten wood and ironwork.

It is a Foster tank sponson trailer.

The trailer looks grand. Is that how it would have looked originally..?


Great pics of what looks to have been an excellent day. I love that Foden tipper so much!

Good question, I believe there is one at Bovingdon tank museum.

I believe the dropsides and headboard are additions to make it more useable, the original timbers were used as patterns for the chassis etc.

The Foden is ace. Trust me.
