HDX said: The picture of #15 posting #15 first picture is probably the truck I would want to build if I was a model builder. It just looks so fantastic sitting there looking proud !!! That is for sure the true meaning of Heavy Duty. The Kenworth-- posting #14-- pic #4 is/was ERT #18 she came with a 6-110 GM engine and 47-40 rear diffs and 14:00X24 tires just like the 4 HD Hayes's #14--#15--#16-and #17 Click to expand... HDX, well then i guess some other questions come to the mind of a model maker, Color?......More photos......... Ap40

This isn't an equipment shot but it does show how busy it used to be in the estuary of the Campbell River, back in the day this is where a lot of ERT production ended up. This is a pic of a pic so not that clear. The framed one is in the Ideal Café at Campbell River. That's it at the lower left of this pic, with the cars around it. Take care

These are NOT MY pictures!! They are all shared pictures that were given to me by old ERT people and they deserve to be shared with everybody! If for no other reason than the historical aspect of them. It is the snapshot in time and equipment that we all love. Unfortunatly I dont have very many but I know there is a lot more pictures out there. There is ex ERT guys that look in on this site fairly often because its what they grew up with--its a link to their past. Enjoy!!!

HDX & HayesNo1 Great photos of the ERT trucks, looks like they had a lot of fine looking equipment. Anybody interested in ERT history might want to check out Campbell River Museum's Site at: http://gallery.crmuseum.ca/category/gallery/elk-river-timber-company Five pages of photos there, even shows the LMSWL Macks.

Pics of ERT #217 in BCFP colour and still with tank on. Look at that wide rears. Great and rough truck.
