That is excellent news, when I first saw this release news I immediately started gathering info from Maple Leaf Up website on the machinery lorry, now ICM have done the body for me. I would far rather scratch build a GS body rather than a machinery one.

Hmm... Wander if the IBG Bedford QL GS body would fit?

Truely I see no obstacle to finishing out this shop truck! I know I have said the same elsewhere on this site but tools really don't have an exact "scale". A large 1/48 tool in O scale is a somewhat smaller tool in 1/35th. (All items currently available on eBay) Plus Models 1/35th scale lathe: Diopark 1/35th shop tools: Verlinden 1/35th drill press: Wiseman Models 1/48th large stand grinder, screw jack and tie downs: (Other bench mount grinders also available.) Wiseman Models 1/48th Bench Vise: Wiseman Models 1/48th Anvil: And what could be the crowning touch to this project: Wiseman Models 1/48th Fordson "Power Unit" to be modified by you into an electrical generator.

Or even this amazing set from Resicast: 1/35 UK Machinery & Tools - (Lathe, Generator, Grinder, Drill Press & Work Bench) Check out that generator!

I agree with Robin regarding ugly British trucks - can't get enough!

Why am I not surprised? I have to admit, if there are some detailed pics of the interior, this would be an interesting project indeed.

Here's definitely something that we can use! I was cobbling together a German Ford with the same machine shop in the back and find such vehicles a great change of pace from all the tanks we otherwise build.

ICM, great to see more Brit soft skins! Please make a Morris Commercial trucks well made and affordable as your other models!

Morris Commercial Type D for example!
