Always had a soft (?mental) spot for wagons and am enjoying the current Last Foden thread that FT started @Forage Trader
I even did my College thesis on the value of the farm lorry.
In my youth I drove various stock wagons; F86 Volvo, Merc 1617 with an air spilt 8 speed gearbox all in reverse, AEC Mercury (that really leant with a full load of cull cows and no assisters) and some interesting drives on the marquee work including all ages and weights of D Series Fords, DAF 2700 drawbar with demount bodywork and some horrible Ford Cargos.
I've also run an ERF B series with 26ft Houghton box (pictured with Jon Burgess, livestock box guru)
Be interested in your old or current wagon photos - livestock wagons of yonder and in historic settings like markets no longer here of particular interest
