VOLVO F12 40' FLATBED AND LOAD - H E PAYNE - BEDFORDSHIRE
Now into its sixty-eighth year of trading and with three generations of family ownership, H E Payne Transport Ltd has developed an extensive fleet of vehicles specialising in transporting goods from ambient, chilled and frozen temperature ranges.
Harry Edward Payne was first introduced to fresh produce transportation during the wartime years when he began replacing local farmers’ previous hauliers.
After his death in 1948, his wife Edna and mother Violet kept the business going until 1958. In its growing years, Payne’s bought its vehicles from various sources. David Payne, managing director and son of Harry Payne, recalls at one time having six vehicles, all painted different colours. Generally the livery was mid Brunswick Green with a black chassis and mudguards with gold paint lettering although in recent years the chassis colour has change to red.
Payne’s first Volvo was an F86 6x2 rigid and made a strong first impression. Today H E Payne operates from their five acre site at Wyboston next to the house where Harry Payne started his business. When Harry Edward Payne started up his Bedfordshire based haulage business back in 1938 he could hardly have imaged that so many years later the company would still be going strong and providing employment for two later generations of his family.

CORGI 1/76 PD2 ORION - PLYMOUTH
Plymouth had a long history as a loyal Leyland buyer, and in 1955 took delivery of the then new and lightweight MCW Orion body on 90 new PD2s.
The Plymouth livery is well reproduced, and gives a really satisfyingly Corporation bus feel. The radiator is a bit bright but commendably thin, and both 'Cyder' and beer adverts lead one to think a holiday in Plymouth in the 50s must have been quite an affair. Charming stuff from OOC. Shop here

CORGI VINTAGE GLORY
The nostalgic appeal of the Vintage Glory range has already created a stir amongst collectors. Now the Sentinel appears in the livery of Paul Bros Ltd, of the Homepride Flour Mills, Birkenhead. Once again it's a superb model, complete with glazing, interior detail and neat chassis detailing.
This model comes with a trailer for the first time, and moulded flour sacks, which look quite realistic.
The red plastic wheels let the model down just a little, but the tampo printing and general charm of the vehicle will mean it forms part of many a new steam vehicle collection. Shop here

CORGI: RELIANT TROTTERS INDEPENDENT TRADERS
When Lledo introduced the Reliant Regal Supervan III for Christmas 1997 as the Trotters Independent Traders van from the television series Only Fools and Horses, many commented that it looked too clean. So now a 'dirty' version has been produced.

CORGI 1/76 GREEN GODDESS OPERATION FRESCO
The Green Goddess is an icon of emergency motor heritage and despite their age, many are still in working order today. Originally developed in the event of a Soviet nuclear strike, the Green Goddess was a fire engine used by the AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) until its disbandment and more recently by the British Armed Forces during fire strikes of 1977 and 2002 (codename – Operation Fresco). These largely green-painted vehicles were built between 1953 and 1956 based on an army truck, weighed in at 7.5 tonnes and had a top speed of 45mph. In 2005 the Ministry of Defence sold more than 20 as the government disposed of surplus vehicles. All of the machines were sold for between £3,500 and £7,500. Shop here

VOLVO FH FLAT BED & LOAD - RJ & I MONKHOUSE LTD-LONGTOWN, CUMBIA
R J & I Monkhouse was established by the late Reg Monkhouse on the 1st August 1950 with an AEC Mammoth Major, registration KAO 365. Steady progression led to Reg buying the company’s first articulated truck in 1963 and from that day on, they never purchased another rigid vehicle.
Today the company is operated by his son Ian Monkhouse and grandson Stuart from the depot at Sandysike, Longtown in Cumbria. Their vehicles are all named after Reg’s father, Joseph Monkhouse, who was killed in action in the Great War.
Like many haulage companies, R J & I Monkhouse Ltd has also ventured into warehousing while there main traffic carried is peat, building supplies and fertilisers. Hauliers of Renown is the flagship of Corgi’s road transport range of die-cast models - amazingly detailed, each model is a tabletop replica of a truck from the UK's most famous haulage fleets.
Every model, is recreated in superb 1:50 scale and includes a numbered, Limited Edition 'Tachograph' Certificate and customised presentation packaging. The range includes both modern and classic cabs and trailers from some of the best known British hauliers. Shop here

CORGI 1/50 GUY INVINCIBLE - DAWSONS FARGO
The invincibles cab was, to all intents and purposes, the same as the Warrior's, so this 8 wheel dropside has much in common with the previous model. The company was based in Leighton Buzzard, though now Dawsongroup pic is a big operation from Milton Keynes.
The old fashioned, two colour lettering is neatly done and the model looks smart in red and cream. The wheels look a bit grimly plastic against the painted red of the chassis and mudguards, but this an attractive model. Shop here
