Trucking and tractors

Talking about trucks last night reminded me of these photos I have stored in my computer. They are some of Tom French's Volvo aticulated tipper lorrys. I think we counted 84 identical trucks parked in his yard, all immaculate. Tom has a contract to haul coal from an open cast mine near his home in Ayrshire, Scotland to a large electric generator plant. We were at his place to view his Massey Ferguson collection. Which was equally as impressive as his trucks.

Does anyone in Scotland ever watch 'Thomas the Tank'???? 84 over ther road? Every shift? 2 or 3 shifts? I would think the people in town would demand a railway spur from the mine to the plant. I think one in New Mexico? And certainly one in Arizona are mine to power plant railways that never connected to the mainlines, every bit of them was trucked in to a point. Just back and forth, all day.... like 84 lorries...
If they need a driver for a wee blue coal burning steam engine... I work cheap ya know...
toot toot!!!
