||||||||||
This is very much a pleasant surprise when it landed in my in box, a model of the Colossus 600 made in the workshop where I worked in Sunderland. It would have been made just after I left and seeing it I do seem to recall the design team talking about a big twelve or sixteen wheeled machine on the drawing board.. Model size 52"x12"x13" high. 1:20 scale |

This model, now for sale, was bought by Jimmy's Farm Toys (Pennsylvania USA). It is a sales model produced by the workshop go with the sales team who obviously could not carry around the real things in they briefcase. It would have been made between 1972 and 1978 when the workshop closed down.

I often wondered what happened to old industrial models and I think Jimmy's story of how this one turned up is probably typical. |

If anyone wants to buy this model I'll pass your enquiry to the Jimmy. |
