ERF
Established in 1933 by Edwin Richard Foden, who had left Foden – the company founded by his father – in late 1932 because he believed the future lay in diesel engines rather than steam power. Based in Sandbach, Cheshire (just a few miles from Smallwood), the company made their own chassis and cabs, originally with engines from Gardner, but later also Cummins, Perkins, Detroit Diesel and Caterpillar Inc..

Excellent Image of these ERF Trucks. Don’t know if I would want to swing that starting handle!! – Ted
It would be easy for the driver, think of the brawn he needed to turn the non power-assisted steering wheel.

Very cool capture and history! This show must have been awesome!
Thanks Bill, this was only a small show, for really awesome check out Great Dorset Steam Fair which covers around 600 acres.
