« Truck crash spotted on Google Earth | Main | Oh Bollards! Old trucks get destroyed in the name or research »
This wonderful photo was taken in 1929, some six years after the formation of London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). As you can see, the location is the Camden Goods Station in 
I am going to take a guess that the truck with trailer on the right of the photo is an AEC (but I'm ready to be proved wrong) - but there's a huge pie up for grabs for correctly identifying the one with the dodgy wheel alignment.

The trck looks like a lightweight Pagefield. The heavier Pagefields were certainly used in quantity by the railway co.s but usually in the form of an early mobile crane

I'll plump for around 1910 Lacre due to the distinctive 'arched' front axle - quite unusual, the badge on the radiator and the shape of the radiator. I have posted three shots of Lacre's here;

so comparisons can be made. Sorry, the front axle of the bus (which was restored by members of the Northland Branch of the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand from a wreck) is not as clear as I would like but has that distinctive arch. The remains of the bus had lain in a swamp for 40 years and is a model 'O' built by the Long Acre Engineering Co of Long Acre, Convent Garden Park between 1908 and 1910.
The red Lacre is a 1925 road sweeper in the Ipswich Transport Museum, photo by Richard Haughey - the distinctive badge on the radiator is clearly seen (compare with photo), and I am not sure of the vintage of the van but the axle arch can be seen. Must take these photos down soon as two are not mine - sorry!
