1:43 Scale

Moreton C Cullimore & Son Ltd has been established for 80 years this year (2007) and is well known throughout the country for its green trucks. A notable feature of which has been the practice of naming haulage vehicles, plant and support vehicles after characters from Dickensian novels.

During the 1960s and 1970s most of the support vehicles were Land Rovers; short and long wheelbase, soft and hard-top, used for a variety of duties, but primarily the movement of staff between working locations, supervisory staff and maintenance crews. Ten such vehicles were at one time in use.

WDD439J was the newest member of the Landrover fleet, and entered service early in 1971. It operated under the name of Mr Chuckster from Old Curiosity Shop.
