This is what I like about being retired. It’s always surprising how effective the simplest mixing and matching of models can be on occasions (in this case 1:50 scale)! Here we see the fantasy of a Mk V AEC retrieving an unaccompanied Belgian trailer from the docks in early morning sunlight.

I drove a 4whlr version of this for about 12mls without a shadow of a doubt the worst lorry I ever drove. In fact possibly the worst vehicle I ever drove n that includes a Terex 24 motor scraper.
Didn’t realise they did an artic version, was there a different engine /box in this or just low gross weight?
I think they were a BRS ‘special’ as I never saw any others. I quite liked driving those in rigid form to be honest, the optional power steering, five speed overdrive box and two speed axle made a big difference but not many buyers chose that. Of course they were lighter without those options as they could legally carry six tons in standard form but were under three tons unladen so no HGV licence needed. A local company in Reading used them, and the smaller four cylinder models, on the trunk to Glasgow in the sixties and we used to service them and they were not a lot of trouble really.
