Production Details:
Oxford Diecast - Fowler B6 Road Locomotive Atlas Norman
E Box. New tooling brings a new vintage steam vehicle to the 1:76 scale
series in the shape of the Fowler B6 class NHP 8 Road Locomotive. 'Atlas'
was built in 1928 and registered VM 2110. It was one of the last road
engines to enter service with Norman E Box before the company was sold to
Pickfords. Norman E Box of Manchester & Birmingham, as it says on the
vehicle, worked 'Atlas' on heavy haulage such as transformers, ships
propellers and other heavy loads out of Manchester until 1948. Decorated in
a rich brown with grey roof, which is also painted on the underside in
cream, the model features black and soft green wheels which have been given
a mottled texture to the outside to show their natural 'weathering'. (OO
Gauge / 1:76 Scale)
