Gert Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 A few photo`s from our latest projects... The model is in the scale 1:50, original made by Corgi Toys in the 60 & 70`s, the trailer is a Lion-Toys tanker. The 6x4 chassis was made from a donor Corgi chassis.

Eshaver Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You certainly don't see the Ford Cab over trucks here anymore . I know where there are two Heil manufactured tanks are though . One is probably salvageable , the other one looks to be right rusted . Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 You certainly don't see the Ford Cab over trucks here anymore . This trucks were never sold in Holland, and don`t think that there are lot of these trucks saved, i found one photo of an restored 4x2 H-series, a red one, it`s a bit hard to get all the details right without some info, but there is no rush, it`s a hobby.. That looks cool,I remember that truck growing up,I like what you have done to it so far....I'm a watchin'!!! Thank you very much!, my dad used to run Ford trucks, a few Ford D-310 Customcab models, Ford trucks are also very rare in Holland, a few Ford D-series an some Ford cargo`s an a handfull of transconti`s, and that`s all....

Chuck Most Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Very cool! I'm toying with the idea of doing one of these in 1:25 with an AMT C-series cab and a bit of scratchbuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hey!!! A 2 Story Falcon! Ed! Saw one about three weeks ago at the Mall! The carnival was there and they were still using one to haul one of the bigger rides around! red and white ans in perfect shape! Wish I would have had a camera with me at the time! A local battery builder had 4 or 5 of them in their fleet back in the day! The drivers hated them with a passion! The broke down a lot! So the drivers would have to use one of the old GMC's!

Gert Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 A few donor trucks, Corgi-Toys sold the H-series as a wrecker, cartransport trailer and a box trailer, not very hard to find but with the most second hand models are the windows broken, i have 13 donor Ford at this moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Hey!!! A 2 Story Falcon! Ed! Saw one about three weeks ago at the Mall! The carnival was there and they were still using one to haul one of the bigger rides around! red and white ans in perfect shape! Wish I would have had a camera with me at the time! A local battery builder had 4 or 5 of them in their fleet back in the day! The drivers hated them with a passion! The broke down a lot! So the drivers would have to use one of the old GMC's! It seems to be a bit of a Ford problem..., the Trancontinentals did also breakdown frequently or the went up in flames......, a driver told me that there was a hugh problem with the electrical system, the Transcon`s used to have 2 sets of wiring, for Europe (right hand drive) and England (left hand drive), and the fusebox was mounted at a place beneath the door, and when it started to rain, it could happen that some water went into the fuse box..
