London” and dated back to 1903. So far this is the earliest evidence of a container transported on motorized vehicle I could find. However at this time many trucks should already been withdrawn from war time service to several British railways and it can be assumed, that these were also used to transport similar road-rail containers.For building one model, you need at least:1x chassis (normal or long)1x steam boiler2x wheels aft1x wheel fore (straight, turning left or right)1x platform (normal or long, as per chassis)optional driver figureoptional the furniture container For filling the coal bunker I use model coal made by Busch 7071:https://www.busch-model.info/000007071.4The long version of this lorry is made for containers available from PECO:https://peco-uk.com/collections/2mm-n/products/lms-furniture-removals-pack-of-2All models sized for British n-scale (1:148).
