Foden S80 Cab Kit

Scaled at 1:43.5 (7mm/ 1 Foot), this cab is available for modellers producing their own road vehicles for 0 gauge model railways and dioramas.

Introduced in 1973 the Foden S80 was a heavy capacity tipper, mixer and tanker chassis that was to remain in production (latterly as the S83) until 1977. The robust and reliable S80 was popular with major quarry and construction companies, with one third of all build being tipper versions. Once sold on by their original owners to smaller operators S80 tippers remained in use into the 1990s.

The cab kit is designed on 3D Cad and is printed in photoreactive resin. The kit comprises the cab, interior, rear view mirrors and windscreen wipers. A full drawing describing the cutting and forming of the cab glazing is provided.

Note; this cab is only suitable for the 4 axle rigid chassis. The S80 cab used on both the 2 & 3 axle tractor units and 3 axle rigid chassis have the steering axle in a different location.
