Cumnock-based haulier T. French & Son has added a very special vehicle to its fleet in the shape of a steam-powered Foden named Merlin. The business traces its roots back to 1967, initially supporting Scottish farmers before moving into coal haulage, and the Foden, which is shod on 40×8 16-ply BFGoodrich Silvertown Vintage Tyres, pays homage to this and general British engineering excellence.
