ERF 44G dropside lorry |
The old ERF was getting a bit long in the tooth by now but comes out for its final trip round the block with the dropside back body off the even older Commer 5 ton chassis - the Commer carried on until 1963. Here we can see two different colourways . The Blue and yellow one is a replacement for a really battered example I had previously. I tried to replace its smashed window unit and succeeded in breaking the windscreen divider bar off so I thought it was time for a replacement model.
Both of these are actually from Gift Sets. The Blue and Yellow one is from the Lorry & Trailer Set (GS11 from march 1960); the blue and white one is from the milk promotional series released in May 1962 (GS21Lorry & Trailer with churns).
I've now managed to put together all the milk themed releases and have put some snaps of them below. You can see a full set of pictures for the Karrier here: Link, but the tanker and the trailer are very new acquisitions and will have to wait for my next 'studio' photo session for full photography. Meanwhile the pictures below were taken on the kitchen table and will do for now.
