1961 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Diecast Car Red Diecast Model 1/18 Die Cast Car By CMC

The 250 was one of the most significant cars in the history of Ferrari. It was the first car built in (relatively) large numbers and included many variants during its lifetime from 1952 to 1964. The 250 GT Berlinetta SWB was introduced in 1959 and about 250 were built during the next three years, both road and full-race versions.

CMC's offering is a beautiful 1/18 th scale model of the luxuary edition of the road car built in 1961. Like the BBR Ferrari Enzo, it continues the trend of 1/18th scale models produced in China to an ever increasing quality standard at an afforadable price. The details are amazing: complete replica of the engine with all pipes and cables, padded leather seats, carpeted floor and boot, flip-up petrol cap, screwable wheel nut for removing wheels and removable spare wheels in the boot, exact replica of the underbody, wheel suspension with coil springs and shock absorbers, metal front grille, rubber wiper blades, ect. --Model Collector

THE FODEN "C" TYPE STEAM WAGON



The Foden “C” type Steam Wagon having a nominal load capacity of 6 tons was a popular vehicle among companies transporting large and/or heavy loads. It was fast and economical with its 3 speeds which enable it to comfortably exceed the 25 m.p.h. speed limit of the time.

This power was put to good use by many companies with the addition of a trailer of 3 to 4 tons nominal load capacity.

One such company was Frazer and Frazer of Ipswich who used the Foden for their Furnishing and Warehousing business.

Machbox is a great company for these engines. It also comes with a trail and a roof for the trail and steam wagon. This is a great company and I thank them so much for bring back this history old the age of steam. It best to keep the trail connected to the steam wagon because it is finely to put back and take of.
