In 1933, steam was still the best way to move a heavy load. Cargoes too big for the railway loading gauge were often moved by steam tractors. Corgi has modelled a cylinder made in Bury and destined for the St Annes Board Mill Co of Bristol - a long journey.
The pickfords-liveried tractor and trailer are smart in the familiar blue livery. Details such as the steering chains and driving wheel are well done.
The load itself is a big thing. We're not totally convinced that the tarpaulin effect works, but it's a most interesting and quite detailed resin item which has been carefully painted.--Model Collector Buy it now
