Oxford Diecast - NTCAB003 - Truck, Scania, Tractor-Trailer - J & M Murdoch and Son - S111 YGA

Specific Item Information: For the first time our N scale Scania T Cab features a Tipper trailer and we've chosen the eye-catching colour scheme of Scottish haulier J & M Murdoch to launch this new variation. Promoting their recycling operation, the red, white and black livery is full of detail on both the tractor and trailer down to their bulk muck shifting facility and their Glasgow telephone number. Registered S111 YGA, the vehicle tipper is white on a red chassis with a realistic tarpaulin in red covering the load.

Road Name History: Founded in 1965 by John and Margaret Murdoch, the company gradually moved from its humble beginnings as a small family-run business to an expansive, varied and specialised range of vehicles. The journey to where we are now is a story that we take immense pride in. The original premises of Murdochs was to carry animal feed from our base of operations at Thornliemuir Farm, Paisley to our clients across the central belt of Scotland. Then operating with just 7 vehicles, we rapidly began to expand thanks to our growing reputation for being an efficient, reliable company and in 1974 we moved to a larger base of operations out at Glenfield Road, Paisley. Just as our offices expanded, so too did our offering of services. With a fleet of 30 vehicles at our disposal, we quickly took advantage of the growing demand for general haulage including the transportation of whiskey, timber and fertiliser. For many years we operated successfully in general haulage and gradually grew an impressive portfolio of clients.
