RMweb Gold Shaun Waters Posted July 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thank you Phil, strange that Oxford haven't done one, skips are easily obtainable, I've probably got a dozen or so but no lorries ! I'll have a look at the Langley one. Cheers, Shaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted July 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2020 Shaun, I'm sure there's no complete vehicle available, but you could put an RTI skip body (mentioned by @gordon s above) onto a Base Toys chassis. The latter can be picked up from a well-known online auction site. Depends on how much you want to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Shaun Waters Posted July 8, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi Guys, Firstly, thank you all for your help with this, I have ordered some RTI bodies, and am now looking for a chassis to modify to take them, I did look at Base Toys but really want more detail, never mind, I'll keep on looking, there will be something out there ! Cheers, Shaun. Mick, I got fed up with working on my elevator again so started another project to rest my brain a bit ! Typical ! Layout plan is becoming clearer in my mind though...………. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Here's a link to some of the former GC around Leicester, scroll down( pic 13 and 16) and there's a good photo of the the coal yard with a couple of skip wagons circa 1974 before it became the infamous Vic Berry's. http://www.gcrleicester.info/html/trains.html Also check this for non skip load on skip wagon Napier powered Leyland!
