Oxford’s highly detailed long-bonneted Scania T Cab has drawn some interesting trailers and none more so than the recently introduced cylindrical tanker.  For only the tanker’s third release we see it in the livery of Northern Ireland based Wilson McCurdy, founded in 1961, who have a diverse heavy haulage business in Aughafatten, Ballymena, specialising in bulk and general haulage, storage and fuel distribution, . Their highly skilled drivers carry a variety of loads throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.

The cab and trailer are registered MH55 XLT from 2005, which was also the last year that Scania produced the long bonneted T Cab. However, the vehicle is still favoured by truckers, especially when pulling tipper trailers or tankers as we have here.

The cab decoration is printed with a mass of company information and we particularly like the two cartoon characters along the edge of the roof between the Topline lettering.  Another detail takes in a bit of local history. The riband above the radiator is printed with the words ‘Slemish Rose’.  Slemish is the 437m () 1437 ft) high remains of an ancient volcano just outside Ballymena which can be seen for miles around.

The trailer is finished in chrome with silver wheels and side bars. The gantry, ladders and side pipes are also silver. To the rear, the tanker end dishes are painted white, the wheel centres red, with other trim finished in chrome or black. The tanker sits on a red chassis. The bright orange-red Wilson McCurdy graphics are printed on the sides and tanker back. This is another great model for truck collectors and certainly not to be missed by 1:76 scale collectors in Ireland.
