Base Toys have a new range which includes a Thames Trader dopside lorry decked out as 1135F. It has a grey cab but a green body?!?!? It's numbered 1135F, has a tiny underlined red London Transport name on the cab doors, and correct reg number. It cost me GBP5.95 at the Eastbourne running day on Sunday. A nice model though - recommended. The older base toys can be grabbed at 3 for a tenner at rallies if like me you fancy slapping a bit of paint about. |

Well done Base Toys! Take out your copy of the Capital Transport Service Vehicle book by Kim Rennie and Bill Aldridge and turn to page 75. The middle picture is of 1135F and it appears that the base toys model is very accurate. 1135F did have a green body and and a rather unusual underlined fleetname. Somebody at Base Toys is obviously taking a lot more care than Corgi and EFE seem to manage. Well done Base Toys - more of the same please.
