Advertises in Railway Modeller most months.
There are also some Oxford Diecast vehicles that are suitable for the 1930s. Their web site has a section listing vehicles by era: https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/collections/by-era?constraint=1-148+era-1930 (https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/collections/by-era?constraint=1-148+era-1930) which is helpful.
The R. Parker kits are very good, and well worth looking at.
I've found this website: https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/car_spotters_guide_europe_1939 (https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/car_spotters_guide_europe_1939)
very useful for getting an idea of what was around. Note that that link says 1939, but there is a not-very-obvious drop-down menu that lets you choose other years over quite a wide range.

No MOT testing in the 1930s and lots of small garage workshops so vehicles were kept going for longer. Anything previous to the 1930s could conceivably still be running, especially in rural Wales...
Scale Link do some 20s/30s white metal kits similar in quality to the R. Parker ones.

Any one heard of an N gauge cattle lorry UK, There is a OO model about, but cannot find one for 'N'
There is the Dornaplas Thorneycroft cattle lorry available from Springside (plastic kit).
Best regards,

I would prefer this one
The Glasgow bus colour scheme was in use well into the sixties,
the first driver only buses in Glasgow had that livery. Supposedly
chosen to appeal to both Rangers and Celtic fans according
to legend.
It survived in modified forms up to 1983 when Strathclyde orange took over
