Wasn't sure wether to go black or silver but I decided there was too much silver it was an unusual decision once again from Britains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 looking good Ted, personally I think it looks good as is, there are plenty of smaller cattle wagons around here that started life doing something else and you can still see the ghosts of the original livery, looks quite authentic to me.

alf aphid Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Like it Ted especially the 1980 DL plate, a good year on the island hopefully I’m looking slightly less battered than your truck! You talking of cattle trucks reminded me of the blue J Shirlaw cattle trucks, I guess they’ve packed up now. You might be too young to remember!!
