cherry268 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I am going to be brave and show my latest effort as the first I have posted on here It is one of the Emhar series of Bedord O series trucks. Built OOB, only thing I added was some plug leads. Didn't have too many problems, crane parts are a bit fiddly, usual problem of being hamfisted and breaking things off One of the windscreens didn't fit too well but its passable and one of the transfers on crane slipped but I am not going to attempt to rectify it as I usually make things worse I have noticed that the no plates want some attention so will have to sort them 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yeah cool! Nice colour on this one. I have their tanker, it's showing hands whenever I look in the direction of the stash! They are lovely little trucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Really nice, love these old trucks a lot, great build Happy memories as a kid when some of these were still a common sight on the roads Never built a truck model as the modern ones do nothing for me, but these o;der types might tempt me at some point, quite like the look of the BR flatbed Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 A smart little thing. Nice first post. The plates are trade plates, I'd be surprised if the weren't knocked about a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the moulds could still be purchased and rerun by someone else. Probably a very small market though.

BIG X Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 That is really nice - great build!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryedale Wolf Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 OK I've done a bit of digging, I happen to know the bloke that did the masters for the tanker and the wrecker. He tells me that after Phil Brook died the family sold the moulds to Bachmann. As in model trains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an odd scale for Bachman to get involved with, can't see what use they would have for them in the model railway world 🤔 But at least if they have been saved, there is still hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
