AEC Mammoth Minor Tractor Kit
Scaled at 1:43.5 (7mm/ 1 Foot), this kit is ideal for modellers looking to add a heavyweight articulated tractor to their road dioramas and 0 gauge model railways of the 1960s and 1970s. The kit represents an AEC Mammoth Minor articulated tractor, a 32 ton GTW vehicle introduced in 1965. The Mammoth Minor chassis was derived from the Mammoth Major by shortening the chassis and deleting one powered axle from the Mammoth Major design. The Mammoth Minor had a short production life, being phased out in the mid 1970s as a result of limited demand for such a high capacity 3 axle tractor when compared to improved 2 axle designs then being offered by competitors. The Mammoth Minor tractor was often to be found hauling bulk tank and tipper trailers, typical of heavy industry in the UK. All parts (apart from cab glazing) are designed on 3D CAD and are 3D printed.

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. All parts (apart from cab glazing) are designed on 3D CAD and are 3D printed.
