TRUCKS IN BRITAIN VOL.2: Fairground Transport

A nostalgic trip back in time to when the local travelling fair used to set up their Perkins and Gardner diesel generators in the local park. Modellers will love this nostalgic collection too which includes Richard Walton's Foden S21 better known as the Mickey Mouse or Spaceship with its fibreglass cab, the attendant vehicle to the Meteorite ride. An ex-Rugby Cement powder tank eight wheeler was extensively rebuilt and upgraded to transport the Stanley Reeves Satellite ride. There are the Chipperfield Brothers with their Twist ride pulled by a Dodge Tractor Unit 342DMW with the LAD Cab, the Monsters Revenge ride at Newcastle Town Moor Fair in 1982, and heavy haulage and imaginative articulated units hinged to carry the Leyland 'Octopus' RBM44 to use with Dodgems or a double decker bus with its top deck cut down to provide sleeping quarters, here photographed at Skipton Fair. The gallery includes hundreds of nostalgic archive images reproduced to the best possible quality. 72 page large softback, 20 x 16cm.
