George, you have given me an idea for a new project.... I build small digital voice recorders and then put them under my DC layout at strategic locations.... running water beside stream, neighing horses beside horses, etc operated by push button on the layout's fascia.

Record Mr Whippy, put speaker and push button near the van, and, voila! 

Sounds good to me

Certainly round my way we had Tonibell (bright pink Bedford van, Oxford do this one in the WRONG scale) and Rossi (orange and yellow MK2 Transit).

I used to know someone who converted vans into ice cream vans.  He would have been a good source of information on colour schemes etc.  Don't think I'm going to ask him though as he's going to kill me when he see's me!

Dave

You didn't buy any ice creams from him then 

No icecreams but a generator!  Turned out to be a load of something smelly and half as useful..  Fell out due to conflict of professions.  Law v Criminality!  Can you guess who is which?

Or, in the words of the old song from Sonny Curtis and the Crickets "I fought the law and the Law won".

Watch it you or I'll PM you a picture of me in this year's UK PonyCon costume 

And you KNOW how disturbing that was last time?? 


Back on topic I see Mr Only Me knows what I'm talking about

The yellow of the AA van and the Land Rover is a little translucent looks ok from a distance thou.

Brewery dray.
Does anyone know if they have released details of this being done in liveries other than the S&N one currently available?  I would imagine this is a prime model for liveries of the former big six brewers and a host of smaller regional ones. Some barrels and kegs in addition to crates would enhance this model though.

I see the Chipperfield's Albion horse transporter is to be released again, and wonder if the range of circus vehicles will be widened?  I assume the upset, for want of another word, over using the Chipperfield's name has now been sorted out?  I'm still hoping for those iconic and very widespread Bristol K & L type buses with E.C.W. bodies to be done, but then we all have our personal wish list/s don't we!

Like the look of the Plaxton coach, but do the mirror arms stick out that far?
