RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2020 Actually the British vehicles are quite interesting. The ice cream van is a Bedford CF, the Transit motorhome with CI body and the ice cream van on the right which is unusual being on a BMC FG chassis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen an FG as a burger and chips van, apparently professionally built but, by the time I saw it, one of those establishments where the deep fryers appear to share a common sump with the gearbox. I'd have thought it would be a bit big as an ice-cream van. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall ever seeing an FG ice cream van before, I must admit I hadn't clocked that on first glance. As PatB says, a bit on the large (and heavy) side! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2020 Trees and bridge look good, but the locos are Lego. Nothing wrong with Lego - loads of fun had with my growing son with Lego. (The stars backscene looks most realistic to bad stigmatism eyes!)
