Limited Edition Collins Teleshift in 1:32 scale


Recommended Posts

Yes i thought it was the same Collins there trailers are now built by Marston.

   Sorry, different Collins to the trailer people, Collins trailers were built by collins of Pontrilas , Herefordshire, who are now McCormick dealers. I beleive Mr Collins sold the trailer business to his son-in-law, who now trades as AW Trailers at Madley Hereforshire.

Ah, I wondered what had happened to Collins Trailers. We have 2 AW trailers, a '98 8t & an '07 10t. I thought AW had been around for longer than Collins hadn't but I must be wrong. And It's Salop trailers which are 'built' by the Marston Group now isn't it?

There's definitely some Herefordshire roots in the teleshift though?

  Oh yes!, The teleshift was built by RW Collins of Ledbury.

Come on Barry, stick with it, looking forward to this one. I'm not big into limited run models but this one will be a must. Maybe you could trade in some of those Spalding Counties to fund it .... ;)
