CORGI 1/50 DAF 105 FLATBED & CEMENT BLOCK LOAD-KEITH MURRAY TRANSPORT-DUMFRIES

Keith Murray Transport was founded in 1999 and has grown considerably over the last decade. They operate mainly flatbed trailers moving concrete and timber all over the UK.  They also have a number of curtainside trailers and can be seen regularly in central London delivering various products including pre-formed toilet blocks.  Keith’s son, Ross, joined the business in 2009 and is quickly learning his trade in this family run business.  All trucks are hand washed every week by the driver under the watchful eye of the boss and the unique livery on this DAF 105 is in memory of Colin McRae, a Great Scot and lifelong hero of Keith’s.

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
