Here is another great British Rail livery to follow the previous two BR themed releases on the Shelvoke & Drewry Freightlifter. After the chocolate and cream BR Western and the crimson British Rail versions, we are now delighted to included the bright yellow BR colour scheme with contrasting trim and interior. Additional colour sees the huge wheels painted red and the model is rounded off with the familiar British Rail arrows logo in red on the side of the cab.
The Freightliner was first produced in 1952 for the London Brick Company buts its usefulness and great capability was quickly recognised by other users of forklifts, particularly the railways, where they were regularly seen busily operating in railway depots and stations. Our little 1:76 scale replica, registered VXR 332, will surely find a place as an accessory on your 00 gauge railway layout of the particular BR era.
This model is delivered on a black base with an attached clear jewel case ready to be displayed. It can also be unscrewed from the base and placed on your model railway or diorama.
