Oxford Diecast Foden FG 8 Wheel Platform Robsons Of Carlisle

Product Code: NFG013
10 reviews |
£7.45

The Foden FG harks back to 1948 although the Foden name originates even earlier - to 1887 when the company was founded by Edwin Foden. The family dynasty based in Sandbach continued until 1980 when the company was taken over by American company Paccar. Sadly it only lasted a few years before eventually becoming defunct in 2006. In the early days their only competitor was Thornycroft, another classic name in the pioneering days of road haulage. 

The cab and chassis were ideal for a number of loads from flatbeds to tankers and tippers. Oxford’s 1:148 scale series has included them all to date, with equally nostalgic names on the side.

Here we see one of the classic lorries as used by another doyen of the UK’s early truck scene, Robson’s of Carlisle, registered ONB 299, which at the time was a Manchester number plate. Decorated in the Robson’s maroon and cream livery, note their characteristic name on the front ‘Border Marquis’. Additional trim is finished in black, including the interior. The unladen platform bed features a brown ‘planked’ out effect. The Foden radiator grille in black and silver includes the Foden ‘signature’ in silver on a cream diamond shaped background.  A final detail in gold on the doors tells us that the lorry is part of Robson’s of Carlisle Distribution Services.

    Hi Eloise, I haven't open this last package of N scale models I ordered because I'm in South Korea. But, from the other Oxford vehicles I have bought I already know I'll like them. And I just made another order today (4/27). You will have a life long customer in me. Best wishes, Chuck Randall

    Minature Lorry

    I eagerly awaited the arrival of my Robsons of Carlisle Foden but on opening I was greatly amused that I had not understood scale! It is tiny and would almost fit into the cabs of my other Robsons of Carlisle collection. I assumed that as it was so tiny it couldn't possible have the traditional Border Name on either side of the radiator but on finding a quite powerful magnifying glass, there it was 'Border Marqis' Border The registration number was invented though! 'Namers' were very collectable pre Eddie Stobart
