Dennis 3 Ton Truck
Permalink   

W^D Models are very close to releasing their 1/72 Dennis 3 Ton Truck; the 'A Class' or 'Subsidy' truck. Pictures are attached below. The kit will be very slightly different from the pictures because it will be supplied with a PE fret for the small parts such as the rear mudguards, number plates, tilt straps and steps etc.

W^D Models have also recently added many more pictures to their website:

As Peter Kempf says, these are some of the best figures you can get in 1/72.


For a look at a real life, surviving, 1918 Dennis A Class 3 Ton truck, undergoing restoration look here:

I believe we all know 'Peerlessbyfar' by another name, as a contributor to this forum.

That looks great, much better than the Reviresco Thornycroft!

Even better, no doubt it will be worth the wait.

As for narrow gauge wagons, any chance of the F type well wagon? Seems to be the same as the E type drop side well wagon made by Parkside Dundas but without the sides, and stanchions instead. There's a photograph of it here

have I found someone with an interest in the Light Railways!!!!! As to the F well maybe, Parkside are doing the modified C and 2 A class varients for me. The problem is the expense!! but as you know thier quality is the best. I have modified (cut cut cut) thier E class to an F do you want some pics? I would like to put it on the list maybe as an etch with Parkside bogies.

D Fernetti, that's an Albion A10, very nice vehicle and I wish someone would make one (apparently Convoy makes one but they're impossible to get hold of)

Baldwin, yes I have an interest in the light railways, I tried to convert an E class but it didn't go too well! I used to have a 4mm 'Tin Turtle' Simplex but had to sell it unfortunately, sold it for more than I paid for it so may get another
