Model vans and trucks you wish you could buy but cant!

An obscure wish, but planning ahead for the layout project I always wanted, a Crosville Seddon Pennine Dual Purpose single decker, or in Crosville speak, an "EPG", in 4mm scale.

 

Cotswold did a half decent kit some years ago which with a little effort could be turned into a pretty good model. They regularly turn up second hand, I've seen them on stands at toy fairs, exhibitions and on a certain on-line auction site.

Has anyone seen a HO (or 00) scale Landrkver Defender 90 with a metal back that has windows and the small windows in the roof? Ideally painted blue but I can sort that bit myself :)

I've entertained thoughts of converting a JB Models (latterly Airfix) Land Rover into an Austin Gypsy. Given the amount of 1/76 Land Rover varieties available R-T-R and in kit form, I'm surprised no manufacturer has yet produced a Gypsy - or for that matter, a Mini-Moke.

Does anyone do a Bedford TK in N scale?  Kit or RTR would do.

This is the PG models cab married to a modified BT models box van chassis and enlarged body. This will gain some Harrods logos eventually.

And whilst being worked on.....I changed my mind what it represent hence the change of colour.

How about an established model like the Bedford TK  truck in an NCL/ national carriers livery ?

They were everywhere in the 1970's yet you can't pick up a single vehicle !

Not sure NCL had many TKs, others would know better, but the Bedford’s I remember with NCL we’re TJs with coachbuilt parcel van bodies. The tractor units were Karrier and Ford D series.

 

BRS Parcels/ Roadline had TKs and have both been available from EFE in the past.

An N gauge 1950s milk float (prefferably one that United Dairies could have used). Doesn't even need to be RTP, I would be quite happy with a kit but I cannot find anything earlier than the late 60s (and that is questionable). One of these would do nicely.

You beat me too it, I was going point you towards these at Osbournes. Grahame Hedges has one shown on a thread somewhere, I think on the 3D printed cars....
