Oxford 1/76 Diamond T Ballast Edward Beck Diecast Model

$35.99

Description

The Diamond T shown here as a ballast truck for a well-known but long gone family owned company Edward Beck Ltd of Stockport.  Dating back to the early 1940s, the Diamond T was an American vehicle manufactured by the Diamond T Company in Chicago.  Its heavy duty capabilities made it particularly ideal for military use although it was a natural choice in civilian life where it was most suitable for operating on rugged terrain and carrying heavy loads.

This Oxford model is a nostalgic tribute to Edward Beck Ltd, decorated in the company’s familiar primrose yellow bodywork. Contrasting trim includes black mudguards, chassis, white bumpers and black interior. The Diamond T is registered PML 804. A roof board over the cab carries the name in red of Edward Beck & Son Ltd. Additional lettering along the sides of the trailer and on the cab doors highlights all the contact details in Greg St, Reddish and their London Terminus. A spare wheel sits in the front of the trailer decorated with the same red centre as those on the vehicle.

This Oxford Model is in 1/76 scale, or OO Gauge.
