Nice one Andrew,I see the PA speaker is still next to the horns was still there then.She was a good machine if a little sluggish compared to the Perkins engined R types (all 3 of them!). Seemed better looked after than RDM361V too. Ahh, the dust coming through the door bottoms when going up Moel Fammau in her. Happy days! they would have had you wear BA now! B36/7OJC were the first "dodgy " sounding appliance horns Clwyd had, loud though! Smoked like they ran on coal, God bless the old Clwyd.

I went to Rhyl the other day and got turned down for the fist time since 1983 as I didn't had any ID. World's gone mad.

Andy are you sure this is 1989 , as we didn't get the new style tunics until 1991. Keith, the driver, could have been trialing one so this could have made it 1990. Rhyl and Deeside lost their 3rd pumps in '91.
