Can anyone help with this kit, which I recently aquired.
I think it is a Westward kit W20?
Looks like the 5th wheel isto far back and the windscreen looks wrong.thanks in advance.
Nice set of vehicles.
Some time ago found this picture in either Commercial Motor or Motor Transport Bedford TL supplied by Mitchell Cotts (Contract Hire). .
My model of this vehicle RTI cab EFE body.
Looks like the 30cwt version. Seem to remember the handbrake was on the steering column? Did a night run from Tunbridge Wells to Bristol and back in 1973.
On the following site http://public.fotki.com/boballoa/british-road-services/brs-in-england/photos 98 & 141 show BRS using them. Loading cars at Prestcold and the other loading pipes?
Merfyn,
It appears that The Magstar cargo was operated for BR by Mitchell Cotts Transport. Who were a large contract hire firm. Taken over in 1988 by I think Transfleet, part of the Lex Group.
regards
Robert
