Wigan Album

I can name them all apart from the first one, and that's a fact!

Nice collection there Keith. I've got quite a few of those myself and a few others besides, but you've got one or two that I've never seen before. The Rutland and the Sentinel for example. And although I have a GUY badge, I don't recall ever seeing that ' Feathers in our cap ' design. And I don't have a clue about the red horse at the top left. I don't suppose you have any more photos of Fred Rose's wagons? Regards. Ozy.

The first badge is Meadows of Wolverhampton manufacturers of diesel engines and gearboxes.Their biggest customer was Guy who used both engines and gearboxes in their buses and wagons and based also in Wolverhampton.

I have a couple of photos, one of the new 8 wheel ERF's and one of a new Seddon 4 wheeler, reg no YTD 183. I'll try and dig them out.

Ozy - the LUT Guy Arab buses had Red Indian radiator caps with the same legend. I went to Atherton garage in the 80s for a load of surplus Bristol RE parts - and hoped I might find such a cap lying around - but the nearest I got was a big red steering wheel off an Arab.

I've actually got two radiator cap red indians David, one in cast aluminium, which goes back to the 60's, the other one in brass which I purchased at a car boot sale last year. I'll try to see if I can get them on here if I can figure out a plausible ruse. I suspect they both came off buses, as the Guy Invincibles that we used to drive had the indian's head cast integrally on the radiator flap. I've never seen the motif on a lapel badge before though.

RA Dyson trailers of Liverpool. The emble with four rings a square and P in the centre is Perkins emblem. Rutland Traction from Surrey. As you say Keith the 1st one is Meadows. Their a great collection, and many thanks for showing them.

In the forties E. Calderbanks ran a Leyland Lynx with a Red Indian radiator cap It regularly tipped scrap into railway wagons in Darlington St East Goods yard

I have run a number of wagons over the years the first being a Morris Commercial with a Saurer diesel engine,
A swiss engine built under licence by Morris. really good engines but they could in some instances misfire when revving too slow and go the wrong way round, an experience that scared my father in law into avoiding diesel engines' bearing in mind his first wagon had been a Model "T" Ford it was understandable

AB the Saurer petrol engine was converted to a diesel engine.

If I remember correctly, the logo for Albion Motors read, " sure as the sunrise ".

Great collection but it couldnt beat my Robertsons Gollywog badges!!
Which I'm tempted to wear on occasion!!
