As far is i know, 3 were build.

These were used in Rusia and are now for sale in Holland, owned by the Koop company

These are original Espewe models, form the former DDR, the old model have a metal triangel to tow the drawbar, the SES models have one made of plastick. With the original box New and old together..

These are in the scale 1:87 also called H0, the models were made by SES models from Germany, started in the late 60`s as Espewe models in the former DDR, good looking models, and not very expensive to buy

Nice truck!

2 Volvo NH12 modells, both with Nootbeboom trailers.

Well done! I did not know that Siku is for sale in New Zealand.

I`m also working on a 4x2 Transconti, the original model is a Corgi Major-Toys. An original with an project The kysor is removed, and the front-axle has been set back a few mm en a new pair of tyres, the cab and chassis are very good models. Not the spare-tyre, it was original build by Ford Photo was taken at the former Ford plant in Amsterdam, there was a reunion a couple of years ago.

I don`t think so, the Diamond T980/981 were in use by the Dutch army in the 50 / 60`s, replaced by the Thornycroft Mighty-Antar.

Volvo NH12 kit made by Lion-Toys, the Estepe trailer is also a Lion-Toys kit, both in the scale 1:50 It`s a fantasy model, the company does exist, but owns a Volvo NL12 6x2 tractor.

Reo , ex US Army

Mack FM700, build for the European market as far as i know Also an ex Overdorp transport Mack F786ST Import from France, the truck has been gone..., the roof has been seperated from the rest, the truck is a bit rusty.....

Also tractors were sold , and 4 axle DM and DMM tippers. This Mack F786ST is owned by a friend, the truck was sold new tot the Overdorp transport company , who used to run with 23 Mack F-serie tractor in the 70 and 80`s.

Zwaans used to be the MACK import for Holland, a lot of MACK trucks were sold new, at these days there is a lot of import from the States and some from France and Spain The blue-white Dm used to als an 4 axle tipper, seen here above, the red DM is now rebuild with an Superliner cab and hood....

In the 70`s a hugh number of Mack F-models were sold, and the road were wide enough, not realy a problem, i do have some more photo`s , if you want to see them.

Mack B61 Mack F786ST

Very nice truck!!, can you give some info about the weathering??, what kind of paint did you use?? This Belgian Autocar was seen in the mid 90`s, nearly in the same shape as your project....

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..

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

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.. 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....
