Commer FC Pickup Kit
This 1:43.5 scale kit features a highly detailed, single piece, resin printed body and simple to assemble chassis/interior. Introduced in 1960 the fully open pickup version of the Commer FC was often used by light haulage operators and many construction trades. In common with many vans of the period the Commer FC was also produced with a canopy pickup body that offered a partially enclosed load bed. The canopy style pickup was commonly used by builders, with a bench seat being fitted in the covered portion of the rear body to accomodate workers. Examples of the canopy bodied FC could also to be found at large railway stations and ports being used on passenger/crew or luggage transfer duties.

Leyland Bison Tanker Kit
Scaled at 1:43.5 (7mm/ 1 Foot), this kit is ideal for modellers looking to add a tanker lorry to their road dioramas and 0 gauge model railways of the 1970s and 1980s.

Similar vehicles were also found in use on other bulk liquids traffic, often using second-hand vehicles into the late 1980s. Two companion kits are available; AT00320 represents a 1968 Bison 1 vehicles and AT00321 and AEC Marshall of the the late 1960s.

Leyland Octopus Tipper Kit
As 0 Gauge modellers we appreciate the difficulty in finding suitable vehicles to park on a 1950s-1990s layout, veteran Dinky and Corgi toys are not always to scale and modern limited editions don’t feature many British vehicles. To this end we decided to take the plunge and find a lorry that could be shiny and new alongside steam locomotives or, subject to your weathering and wishes, lurking tired and dishevelled around sectorisation liveried diesels. The kit represents a short wheelbase, tipper version of the 1964 revision of the Leyland Octopus with the Mk1 version of the Ergomatic cab. The tipper body represents a typical 1960s general purpose tipper that would be found hauling bulk mineral, coal and (when sheeted) agricultural loads. Two companion kits are available; AT00322 represents the final 1975 version of the Leyland Octopus and AT00323 represents an AEC Mammoth Major of the late 1960s.

The Rootes Group offering , inferior in almost every way to its’ competitors from Ford and Bedford, was nonetheless purchased in large numbers by the Post Office, Post Office Telephones and British Rail. Whilst not as ubiquitous as Bedford or BMC vans of the period the Commer van was typical of vehicles used by small builders, electricians and electrical retailers. In various forms and many levels of decay the Commer FC/PB remained a common sight on many streets until the late 1980s.
