Shackleton Fodens

[starni999]

Hi All,
Well these aren't small scale, but they are Diecast Vintage and British, so I thought I'd start a thread for these most wonderful models, I borrowed a Foden flat for a few weeks in the early '70's, and have loved them ever since, still haven't got one, but have the tipper and trailer, and so I really need a good flat lorry.




(Trailer box is a repro BTW)
I would love to see some more Shackleton's.........

If i could afford to, I would be collecting Shackleton models, they are superb.

The fact that they were designed to be taken apart and rebuilt gave then added play value. But they were a very expensive toy new, definately one that kept many Middle class children happy at Xmas. Unfortunately i wasn't one of them.

motorman...I find that very hard to believe you were never a middle class child, you certainly have not lost out to it, keep up your excellent posts, make me laugh all the while...

I really love the Shackletons but space is very tight, picture taken before they were packed away.

Never managed to bag one of these,they look very impressive ,i could have bought one for £150 in kinver about 10 years ago,but didn,t ,would have been a good investment the prices they fetch now.
