T R A N S - O - L I T E headlamps NO BATTERIES, NO BULBS |
This set stands alone. Which other toymaker thought of this. They all try and manage production costs by re-using bits and pieces of existing models here and there. This time round Corgi got the kids to do it themselves..
This kit had two Commer PB 15cwt chassis; one red, one white. The red one has 'Trans o Lite' headlamps. There were four bodies; a red van, a yellow pick-up (with a bench seat), an ambulance back and a milk float. There was also a milkman figure. A twist lock on the chassis held the body and the base together.
There were a stack of other Commer PB vans, two Police vans, Military Police & Ambulances. It is one of those favoured Corgi makes that was everywhere, taking over from the Bedford CA. I wonder what would have happened if Corgi had chosen the Transit instead.
