Title: Cattle Lorry
Post by: port perran on September 04, 2012, 08:51:34 PM
Does anyone know if there is a suitable cattle lorry available that would suit my late 50s/early 60s layout.
Got the cattle dock, the cattle waggons and the cattle but no lorry !

I always think if you cant find something in Oz or the UK you are 99% sure the Americans will have a few  :D

My only worry about the P&D Marsh one is that it may be a little small.
I have a couple of other Marsh vehicles and they do seem a little on the small size compared to Oxford and Base Toys vehicles that I have.

And very nice it is too (have a couple myself, one modified to the similar A.E.C.), but that Thornycroft is a late 1920s design and the chances of still being around in the O/Ps Late 50s/60s timescale are small...

You could still use the rear bodywork though, transplanted on to a more modern chassis/cab eg one of the Base toys range.
