NEWS LETTER ASAM MODELS DECEMBER 2009

 
 

The remaining part of the business, which includes both European and British Trucks along with the Heavy Haulage, Military and Old Timers will continue to operate from the same site here in the UK.   The difference being we will only be open 2 days per week and will only offer kits with a limited number of built models subject to what we can cope with.   We will try to attend Toy Fairs as time permits.

 

 

HEAVY HAULAGE MODELS.

We have now completed the D100 10x10 & T75 8x8 NICOLAS TRACTOMAS as used in South Africa by ROTRAN. These are now available as built models or kits. We have also completed the Chinese operated version of this truck. We still hope to follow with the NICOLAS 28 axle girder trailer operated by ROTRAN. This would allow us to make the complete rig of four Tractomas 10x10 and 28 axle GIRDER TRAILER. We would like to thank DENNIS CHILDS for his assistance in supplying information on these vehicles.

We have introduced the South African PACIFIC ULTRA  6x6 heavy tow trucks which have been used by South African Railways. Rotek, Rotran and ALE.  To go with this we now have a 24 axle GIRDER TRAILER which is pulled and pushed by up to 4 PACIFIC ULTRA heavy tow trucks.  Orders for all Heavy Haulage models continue to grow.  We would like to thank DENNIS CHILDS for his assistance in supplying information on these vehicles.

The FAUN GOLLIATH is now well established and is available in the GEC logo with 8x8 axle GIRDER TRAILER. Then the ALTHOM version follows with 10x10 axle GIRDER TRAILER. The third variant is the ALSTOM version with 14x14 axle GIRDER TRAILER. Last of all is the ALE version with 15x15 axle GIRDER TRAILER. The smaller FAUN KOLLOSS is available with the 12x12 axle GIRDER TRAILER in both the NEW & OLDER ALE livery. There are some intermediate combinations with FAUN GOLLIATH in ALSTOM colours but with the NEW ALE livery. A nice variation on the FAUN's is the ex-military UNIPOWER M SERIES truck bought and converted by ALSTOM before they were sold to ALE.

SCAMMELL PIONEER 100 ton heavy haulage along with some other older heavy haulage trucks are still in our mind for 2009/2010.

We have a nice selection of DIAMOND T models in the form of the Nash converted heavy tow and recovery as used by WYNN'S.  In addition we now include the Rolls Royce engined soft top harvey frost recovery truck operated by SAUNDERS.  New BRS recovery trucks in red and yellow using the TFL recovery gear.   Lastly the CADZOW harvey frost recovery truck is also available.
