NORSCOT 1/50 CAT 140H MOTOR GRADER
The 140H Motor Grader has a choice of two engines, the standard version producing 165 horsepower and the larger optional motor, 185 horsepower. It has an operating weight of 14724 kg. Motor Graders are used in numerous applications from leveling out new roads to grading land for a new shopping complex. A very Versatile machine and, in the right hands, a joy to see working.
The 1/50th scale model captures all movement correctly, from the swinging rear axle to the oscillating steerable front axle and articulating frame. The blade rotates through 360 degrees and levels to allow for contouring embankments. The five-legged metal ripper at the rear lowers and raises.
A glazed cab with detailed interior, quality graphics and paintwork, details also include metal steps to the cab and plastic air intake and exhaust. 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

DAF 105 FLATBED AND SKIP LOAD-PAUL HINCHLIFFE TRANSPORT LTD-BURY
Paul
Hinchliffe established the firm in 2004 with a DAF 95, for which he paid
£10,000. He is the grandson of one half
of J & H Hinchliffe, the famous Walmersley, Bury-based firm and drove for
the firm for sixteen years before the company ceased trading in 2001. Paul continued as a company driver before
going it alone, gradually building up general haulage work.
To maximise
the usage of his tractor unit, Paul employed his father, Geoff, to do TNT truck
work in the evening. With business doing
well, Paul extended his fleet with this immaculate DAF XF 105 Super Space cab,
purchased from David G. Davies of Glossop.
This striking traditional livery was completed by Taylor Commercials
with sign writing courtesy of Rossendale’s David Plant and was the featured
vehicle in Truck & Driver October 2010. Shop here
