Wow! Absolutely wonderful to watch those magnificent old trucks still rolling. Thanks to everyone who's keeping them in beautiful condition.

[@jasenwright1178]

Some real beauties! Glad some people care! well done! * Love the Leyland Comets!

[@ElwynR]

They are!

[@carlnapp8673]

Aren't they lovely? I could watch that video all day long.

[@johndunley4071]

I drove for tommy Williams in the 80, s and 90,s ,good firm to work for tommy a true gentleman and good boss treated his drivers like family

[@robertparkes4982]

What a beautiful sight !!

[@tanja8907]

As soon as I saw it I knew it was Dinas. Cycled up there a few times. Love it!

[@SAGERODS250REM]

Very nice video I love these old trucks. It seems strange seeing them driving on the left hand side of the road. Thanks for making and sharing this gem of a video. Cheers from Canada.

[@phtby1635]

Lovely assortment of lorrys

[@prakashghadge2854]

Glad to view huge traffic road & I did notice that all truckers even others were driving their vehicles by using normal speed.

[@carlnapp8673]

Hello, this is the best video about vintage lorries so far. The camera position couldn't be better. One can even compare the drivers' skills. Thank you for this upload. Greetings from Germany

[@ElwynR]

Cheers Carl, with being only 5 mins from my home! it would be rude not to go up and film them!!

[@carlnapp8673]

Please, carry on! I would like to see another "Vintage Lorry" video. compliment

[@Fersomling]

Carl Napp Hmm...Napp, Ihr Englisch ist auch nicht schlecht...

[@carlnapp8673]

Vielen Dank! Ich darf vermuten, daß Sie die Welt aus den USA betrachten, gelle?

[@Fersomling]

Carl Napp Eine gute Vermutung aber lätz. Bin Kanadier in Kanada augenblicklich, aber ich bin in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika aufgewachsen und habe darum auch dort die Schule besucht. Also, Ihre Vermutung ist eine arg gute, wenn auch eine lätze. Ich bin der Freiheit gewidmet wie kaum ein anderer Kanadier, und der Grund dafür ist zweifellos meine zwanzig Jahre in Amerika.

[@MrModelworx]

Cracking video, you caught the best position for your camera, great to these old wagons barking up the hill

[@premkumarsubramani5052]

Old is gold nice truck's.

[@RAVISHARMA-qo5om]

Nostalgic about old cars a d lorry. Thanks.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Wonderful video, when lorries had ' personality ' !.Beautifully positioned with great sound as well.

[@TheWoodbutcher66]

Splendid video, thanks.

[@shankarbalan3813]

Superb lorries….

[@JoeC88]

Excellent footage / great restoration jobs. At 00:50, what truck is that, where is the radiator inlet positioned.

[@wangdangdoodie]

It's an Albion Claymore. It featured an under floor engine with the radiator ahead in a diagonal (almost horizontal) position. The air would flow under the vehicle and around (both under & over) the radiator.

[@JoeC88]

@@wangdangdoodie 👍 Thank you, I now see the engine is located behind the steer axle, drops the cab height down / spacious cab design.

[@thomaskuzyk9802]

Beautiful countryside and nice ole rigs. Our good friend Bob Reimer drove many rigs but loved his Mack, s trucks. He wrote THE B MODEL MACK SONG by THE COUNTRY TIGERS CANADA. I drove for EATON, S OF CANADA and wrote ME AND MY RADIO JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN HOME by Flo and Curley. Please check and tks for nice viedo.

[@antonyhowell6189]

Hi I watched them drive past the Birmingham garage in barmouth, always enjoyed the parade. Some stopped for fuel , that caused a road block.👍

[@hoagy_ytfc]

Fantastic!

[@steamwally]

It's rare that I watch road run type videos in their entirety, but this one had me hooked! Thanks for sharing. Particularly enjoyed the two strokes! I noticed a bit of water coming from the radiator of that Albion at the very end, is that normal for one of those? Phill.

[@carlmannino6360]

Cool vehicles

[@henriqueantonio3428]

CONGRATULATION FOR YOUR POST ELWYN R THIS VÍDEO IS FANTASTIC

[@ivanov9245]

I wish they're still in great condition until today

[@johnbenton4488]

So many Gardner engines!

[@fastasfox]

What ever happened to commer? I used to drive a Bedford just like the one at 3.00 same green too.

[@timflatus]

Some of these look rather modern for vintage

[@JoeC88]

I was waiting for a Scammell Scarab to show up ;)

[@johnbenton4488]

It's lovely to be romantic about these old vehicles, but there was nothing romantic about driving them for 60 hours every week! Why did the Europeans get such a toe-hold in UK? By offering vehicles that paid full attention to the welfare and working conditions of the driver. But that's just me being a realist!

[@Username751a]

In America as well. Those old trucks were very uncomfortable, too hot, or too cold. The European trucks had some style and color, much nicer to spend time in.

[@simontaylor2319]

When trucks were just lorries and no one gave them a second look

[@necromaniconjigg1285]

I'm Asian I know nothing about euro trucks..nice videos.

[@garethifan1034]

Am ffilm wych..bendigedig i weld yr hen loriiau ma yn dringo dros ben y Fawddwy. Diolch yn fawr Elwyn!

[@helenberry2680]

Albion trucks

[@CrazyBear65]

Some nice old trucks there. I don't know why y'all call them lorries over there though. To me, Lorry is a girl's name.

[@hfraat25]

CrazyBear65 lorry is a dirivative of load carry

[@MrAsificare]

@@hfraat25 Fk me! I'm nearly 50 and a UK citizen and never knew that. Nice one.

[@justcheck6645]

Don't know why you call them trucks, trucks are pulled by freight trains.

[@CrazyBear65]

@@justcheck6645 Freight cars are pulled by locomotives. The trucks to which you refer are _underneath_ each car, like the trucks on a skateboard. And Lorry _is_ a girl's name.

[@wangdangdoodie]

@@MrAsificare That's a fallacy.

[@p5aul789]

I notice how a lot of the drivers have their wives with them! I wonder if they come along reluctantly? Great old british lorries.

[@andrewh5457]

My late father was a haulage contractor in the days of these lorries, and my mam often went with him, willingly.

[@carlnapp8673]

I whish Britain would have built more bonnet-type lorries.

[@carlnapp8673]

I'm a barmpot whish(sic!)

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Matadors,knocker Commers ,NZ SAW M ALL

[@wanderleyapparecidovieira2282]

Better part of the lorries cabin project seems circus ou cartoons specimens !

[@colinsummerfield8851]

Them commers sound nice .. people should remember without a lorry the world is nothin

[@capacityplus]

what was that at 00:53?

[@wildbsc]

Albion with a Clydsdale badge Leyland did a similar model called the otter they had an underslung engine I remember a "dead" one being in the scrap graveyard in the haulage Co where I worked.

[@jonathangriffin1120]

That was an Albion Claymore, they were built from the mid fifties to the mid sixties. They were powered by a four cylinder horizontal diesel mounted just aft of the cab.

[@davidbutler7597]

A Albion

[@mohainimohamad4038]

It would be a miracle if any of these ugly poseurs would be able to carry any load up some slope. You can still meet them doing everyday job in India and some other 3rd world countries in the guise of a TATA brand. Looking slightly modern and having the same power. The only advantage is that you can fall sleep behind the steering wheel and nothing serious would probably happen.

[@robertbishop9368]

I remember having to reverse a Morris Commercial up certain hills when overloaded with coal back in the fifties, the good old days, learnt to drive on an old Bedford O series, Austin's & Morris Commercials, passed test in the Bedford. One of my favourites was the Guy Otter, loved it, & later the Dodge Kew tipper.
