Network Rail - MAN Unit with
Flatbed Trailer and PalFinger Crane (Track Maintenance)
Truck - 1/76 exact OO scale

A beauty isn't it? This is a unique
Network Rail MAN Truck with a Flatbed Trailer and
Palfinger/HIAB crane model based upon trucks
used by Network Rail to maintain the UK rail system.
The Palfinger crane equipment is
fitted to these trucks to assist in the loading or
unloading of heavy materials or equipment.
The crane is
fully poseable and rotates 360 degrees as well as
raises/lowers and extends out just like the real thing.
The Model
This is a
one off prototype Network Rail MAN flatbed truck model that
we built for an exhibition/demonstration that is now
surplus
to our requirements and offered in the first
instance for sale to our serious model railway
enthusiast visitors (before most likely being auctioned
onto eBay).
As we most of our special vehicles, this
vehicle has been stripped down to component parts and a
scratch built bed fitted.
A fully pos-able
PalFinger crane has been fitted which extends, moves up
and down and side to side.
An amber roof light bar has been added
as well as realistic amber grill mounted warning lights
(normally strobe types) and
numerous other modifications to make this a truly
desirable Network Rail truck to own on a
model railway layout.
Built on a
rare 1/76 scale model, this is probably the best Network
Rail articulated truck available to the UK model railway
being exactly 1/76 OO scale as it offers great realism in the authentic Network
Rail livery.
There you
have it, something totally different for a
model railway and would especially look good as a
feature in its own right beside the tracks being
maintained or at a depot.
As mentioned before, this model is
based upon a rare 1/76 which in itself is hard to find
which added to the cost of the very rare crane and the amount of
work that has gone into converting the base model into
the vehicle it is today, it has been quite consuming and
therefore this model has to be targeted at truly the
model railway enthusiast or exhibition layout owner.
With the above in mind, we are
looking for an offer of £85.00
GBP (including UK std P&P) for this model

EWS - Scania Lift-Bed Truck &
Trailer -
1/80 scale

EWS - Scania
Lift-Bed Truck & Trailer -
1/80 scale
This is
a code 3
diecast
metal
and
plastic
model
finished
in a
EWS
livery.
This
sort of
truck
could be used by EWS
to
transport heavy
materials
etc
around
or to

their
depots.
They can
also be
used as
TMD

vehicles,
transporting

parts
etc.
The
model
includes: detailed
interior,
detailed
wheels,
detailed
under-frame
chassis,
realistic
rear
lights
etc.
The 3
axle
chassis
cab has
a
scratch
built
flatbed
body
fitted
to it
that has
been
nicely
sprayed
with a
highly
realistic
aluminium
effect
paint
finish.
This
truck is
based
upon a
similar
vehicle
that I
noticed
on the
M6 in
Staff's.
Although
it was
not in
EWS
livery,
it was
hauling
railway
bogies.
Presumably
the twin
deck
body
allowed
the
vehicle
to be
used as
a
lifting
platform
and as a
method
of
loading?
Anyway,
based on
the
truck I
followed,
this
model
being
offered
is our
EWS
liveried
version.
The
special
build
flatbed
body can
be
loaded
with
anything
you wish
and it
will add
a really
nice
visual
feature
to your
modern
image
layout.
Please
note
that the
CLAAS
teleporter
is not
included
and is
available
separately
on our
construction
page.
Hornby
OO scale
20'
containers
fit very
nicely
to the
bed of
the body
making
this a
very
realistic
truck
parked
close to
any
EWS
locomotives
or
rolling
stock
in your
depot or
railway
sidings
or perhaps
even on
the open
road.
Scale
Although
the
model is
marked
as a
1/80
(and
sometimes
1/72)
scale
model it
is in my
view
closer
to the
1/76
true OO
scale.
Based
upon the
dimensions
given on
the
Scania
website
this cab
is
actually
is
2430mm
so 8.019
feet
wide,
which if
you
multiply
by 4
(4mm = 1
foot OO
scale)
that is
32.076
and
compared
to the
actual
model
cab
width
which is
31.2mm
wide, it
is just
0.8mm
difference!
By
clicking
on the
cab
drawing
to the
right
you will
be able
to see
how the
above
scale
calculation
works
out.

NETWORK RAIL - RAIL
REPLACEMENT BUS - MERCEDES CITARO BENDY BUS - 1/76 scale


NETWORK RAIL - RAIL REPLACEMENT
BUS - MERCEDES CITARO BENDY BUS - 1/76 scale
Built on a
Creative Master 1/76 scale model, this Network Rail (Arriva
operated) Bendy-Bus was a concept
idea to build a dedicated Rail Replacement Bus and it
has been used on a demonstration layout for the past
month.
Surplus to
requirements we are offering the model here to anyone
who wants to make us a sensible offer
(see below).
This bendy-bus
model has been finished to a high standard and would
look very realistic parked outside a railway station on
any modern image layout.
There you
have it, something a bit different for a modern
model railway and it would especially look good as a
feature parked outside of a railway station.
High quality
graphics have been added to this bus making it clearly
distinguishable to other buses.
As well as
the large Network Rail Rail Replacement Bus markings on
either side and rear, further Network Rail logos have
been added to each side together with the operator
Arriva logos either side.
This model is
based upon a bus that is getting quite rare we are told,
being 1/76 which is exact OO scale. We have produced
only two of these models, one which had the grey side
markings has already sold, this is the second one and we think that this
will certainly be the last one that we produce.
With the above in mind, we are
looking for an offer of £50.00
GBP (+ £4.30 P&P - UK std P&P) for this model.

unique one -off model, click

This Rail

As well as

A lot of blood sweat & tears went
into producing this prototype model and it is the only
one we have produced to date and due to the hours
involved to make it, we are un-certain of making more.

EWS Scania
SVABO Road-Rail Vehicle -
1/72 scale

Before you hit the contact us
button in a mad frenzy, the following model is unique
and is already sold (could have been sold 4 times over).
It is pictured above whilst
currently back to us for repair and modifications
(notice damage to roof sections and side door) before
being delivered to its new owners at Manor Lane TMD
hopefully during August/September 2007.
The specification includes a 360
degree fully extendable PalFinger crane and Road Rail
features that raise and lower the vehicle on and off the
track.
A truly original and unique model
that offers so much scope for different scenarios on a
model railway layout.

Scania Freightliner Depot Maintenance
Truck - 1/72 scale

So, from the
two 1/72 scale trucks built on different chassis cabs,
this is technically the first one on a Scania chassis
and longer in length that the Mercedes version supplied
to Dyserth Road.
Again, this
vehicle has been stripped down to component parts, a
scratch built bed fitted, re-sprayed cab and all
chassis/bed components, converted to right hand drive,
PalFinger crane sprayed in the authentic Freightliner
green which moves side to side, roof light bar added and
numerous other modifications to make this a truly
desirable Freightliner maintenance truck to own on a
layout.
This is a highly detailed totally unique
code 3 model of a real Freightliner Depot /
Maintenance Truck used at the Maritime
Southampton depot.
This is a highly realistic model and a
fantastic addition for any Freightliner
model enthusiast to add to a modern day
layout.
Built to a very high standard this is an OO
scale model so is exactly suited for the
latest Bachmann, Heljen and Dapol range
Freightliner locomotives and rolling stock
available.
This code 3 model has been dismantled and
the Scania cab re-sprayed in the authentic
Rail-Match Freightliner green and
yellow colours.
The flatbed body has been scratch built and
the bed is painted in a realistic wood
effect colour.
This model truck includes a highly modified
ridged chassis with the green Hiab /
Palfinger crane that is just like the real
thing.
The model includes Freightliner logos on
each cab door and above the front
windscreen.
A highly realistic Amber Roof Bar Light with
Freightliner logo facing front and rear.
Orange/Yellow hatched chevron panels under
the rear light clusters.
Orange Hi-Vis jackets inside the cab to add
even more close-up detail.
The model is enhanced further with realistic
wheels and tyres, side mirrors, realistic
light clusters all round, detailed interior
and Scania markings.
The Palfinger crane is fixed in the extended
position (as it often is in Southampton)
however you can turn the crane through 180
degrees giving yet another possible
operational dimension to this model.
Extended legs are included (not shown) that
can be attached and offer even greater
realism.
For those of you who are aware of the
Holland Park model railway website and
exhibition layout, this Scania model is the
sister model to the Mercedes Atego that we
built for Holland Park, so the required
level of detail and authenticity should
offer assurances as to this model.
Go to:
holland park model
railway
and browse
around
to see what
I mean.
This model truck is not available from any
shops on the high street or online, it is a
one-off prototype and totally unique on the
Scania chassis. The only similar model is
the Mercedes Atego sister truck used on the
Holland Park exhibition layout.
Only
one
Freightliner Depot Maintenance Truck with
Palfinger Crane
(generally in
the centre of image) is included, all other
scenery, people, track, locomotives,
vehicles etc, shown in the pictures are
NOT included.
|
Built on a
1/72 scale model, this is probably the closest scale
rigid chassis truck to the UK model railway 1/76 scale
and so offers great realism in the authentic
Freightliner yellow and green livery, specially parked
next to the 1/72 scale Transit vans we sell

There you
have it, something totally different for a Freightliner
model railway and would especially look good as a
feature at a TMD depot.
As mentioned before, this model is
based upon a rare 1/72 which in itself is hard to find
which added to the cost of the crane and the amount of
work that has gone into converting the base model into
the vehicle it is today, it has been quite consuming and
therefore this model has to be targeted at truly the
model railway enthusiast or exhibition layout owner.
If you are interested in owning this
unique one -off model, it is now listed for auction on
our eBay shop
here and the auction ends on
13 Dec, 2009
at 22:34 GMT.

Mercedes Unimog - Balfour Beatty
Road-Rail Access Platform Vehicle
Currently under construction we have a 1/72 scale
Mercedes Unimog with a scissor lift access platform.

rare enough but with working access platform and
road-rail equipment it is truly a unique model.
This one-off very specialist
vehicle will be operated by Balfour Beatty and has been
designed to maintain and repair overhead equipment such
as pantographs and signalling with additional duties
including bridge/tunnel inspections etc.
This vehicle will be complimented
by our new Balfour Beatty vans which are available
here.
We are now in their closing
stages of completion and images of this vehicle and the
real truck it is based upon will be here shortly, so
check back soon.

Mercedes Vito's, 1 VW People
Carrier and the Portable Taxi
Office/Cabin



Station Taxi Rank, Including 2
Mercedes Vito's, 1 VW People Carrier
and the Portable Taxi Cabin/Office....
everything you need
This is
a code 3 scenery set, designed to
give you everything you need to
start a taxi rank business for your
model railway station.
The set
includes; Not one but TWO
Mercedes Vito 7 seater Taxi's and a
VW 6 seater People Carrier Taxi AND
a pre-built ready-to-go Taxi Cabin/Office to place outside your
station!
All of
the three taxis are fitted with our
own exclusive TAXI Roof Sign which
has been designed especially for
realism on UK model railway layouts.
The Mercedes Vito
Taxis are modified and
finished to a high standard with a detailed
interior, side mirrors, highly
detailed wheels, 'Mercedes' logo on
the front grill, windscreen wipers
etc.
Fawn in
colour with our very own high
quality TAXI roof sign which is laid
out in a UK taxi style.
A
fictional telephone number 555888 is
fitted to both sides of the vehicle
with the STATION CARS company name
which is also across the front bonet
of the vehicle.
Across
the rear door reads:
Station
Cars, Airports & Long Distance, 6
Seater Comfort, Air Conditioned
Altogether a great 1/72 scale model
and a very realistic Taxi that is
often seen at railway stations in
the UK.
The VW People Carrier
Taxi is also modified and
finished to a high standard with a detailed
interior, side mirrors, highly
detailed wheels, 'VW' logo on

your taxis to operate from.
Cream in
colour with a grey roof, floor and
window frames, this portable office
comes complete with the STATION CARS
name board and 555888 telephone
numbers.
It could
probably do with a bit of weathering
in to make it look established on
your layout but it looks fine as a
ready-to-go kit built model.
This
model set looks superb and very
realistic on any modern OO/HO
Railway as a trackside feature outside a
UK railway station.

1/72

box and Portable Taxi Office/Cabin loose but well
wrapped, all packaged and sent
to the winner ready to be used
on your layout within minutes of
opening.
A
Taxi Business Straight Out The
Box!
Due to
the modifications made to this
model, the number of small parts,
