Guy that bus with the duel wheels in front reminds of the Thunderbirds and rich lady with her chauffeur that had the Rolls with the duel wheels. On the bus are they also duel steering. Can’t get enough of that single axel yellow Scania, that is a mean looking rig.

Guy Motors produced trucks in Great Britain from 1914 to 1979. Fully independent first, the company became part of Jaguar Cars in 1961, absorbed by British Leyland in 1968.
2 examples of Guy Motors production:



- Guy Invicible II 4x2/2 tractor and Boden 2-axle flatbed semi-trailer, loaded with five 26'' gas pipes produced by South Durham Iron & Steel of 5.06 tonnes each (on the left),
- Guy Invicible 8x4/4 tipper towing a demilitarized Carrimore 1+1-axle drawbar lowloader (model being modified) loaded with a JCB 3C Mk1 4x2/2 backhoe-loader of 7.37 tonnes (on the right).

All models are "modern" Corgi models, except for the modified lowloader (1960s Corgi Toys model with Tekno drawbar front axle).

Steve,

I have no definitive answer to your question.
I suppose that when headboard or space on the roof are available, they are natural places to advertise, as you can see them from away (and in particular when you are driving the opposite way). They don't prevent advertising on the sides, which then complement these.
The advertising on the doors are(were) quite common on that side of the pond as well (see Nicoletti, Richelmi and CoGeBat models displayed), as there is often no better space available.

I hope it helps.

3 low price Siku tractors, mainly bought for the Scheuerle units which were hooked to them. After some improvements (removal of their "toyish" fifth wheel and fitting of white metal ones, replacement of undersize wheels by Teknos, etc), they can be compared with much more expensive 1:50 versions of Scania R620 4x2/2 units:




From left to right, their Tekno semi-trailers and loads are:
- Kraker CF-200 3-axle high volume sliding floor tipper,
- D TEC Flexitrailer FT 43-03V 3-axle container carrier with extendable chassis, carrying a 40' reefer container,
- LAG 3-axle tipping container carrier loaded with a LAG 40" container used for bulk transport.

To be continued.
