Some time ago I decided that it would nice to have a livestock trailer and towing vehicle to pose beside the cattle loading dock at Gernise End Station, on the Claptowte Railway. Given the time period as being loosely set in the third quarter of the last centaury, my ideal towing vehicle would have been a Series1 Land-Rover. Search as I may, I have been unable to find a Series1 in 1/24th scale, nor a livestock trailer come to that. For a towing vehicle, I settled on the excellent and very reasonably priced 1/24th scale diecast long wheel base Series II estate, by Burago. Slightly newer, but still acceptable within the time period.
The model as purchased.
Little modification was required to the model. Minimal dirt and weathering was applied to the wheels and wheel arches. The Land-Rover badges were painted in green. Although the model came with a rear number plate, none was fitted to the front, so that was rectified. Other than that, it’s pretty much as out of the box.
