A British Railways scene for this quarter with a couple of classic 1950s commercials in the familiar British Railways maroon livery. On the left is the 30w/421 Hindle-Smart Helecs articulated truck carrying four of the French Dinky 849 Packing Cases with removable lids. The Helecs truck was supplied with either maroon or red hubs and the trailer could be uncoupled from the prime mover. On the right is the impressive 581/981 Maudsley Marathon Horsebox showing the side ramp lowered, the ramp at the rear could also be lowered to allow the loading of horses, this was also made with either maroon or red hubs. There were two more versions of the horsebox: another maroon one labelled “Express Horse Van” which was marketed in the USA and the 979 “Newmarket Racehorse Transport Services Ltd” version, see page 9 for an example of this vehicle. In the centre are two 2a Horses, one in light brown and the other in dark brown. These were available individually pre-war but post-war were part of the number 2 Farmyard Animals Gift Set.
