Easily the nicest in this batch of Trackside trucks from Corgi, this should be on the list for all railway modellers and fans of big trucks who are happy with the scale. The livery is very eye-catching and the tipping mechanism and tailgate very nicely done, along with the "rubble" load, which looks most realistic and has great colouring. Detail levels are high too - a most impressive model.
