I mentioned to blog reader, Scott Kellogg in the comments of my previous Autotanker post, that a Bedford VAL twin front steering coach was used for the Beatles Magical Mystery tour around the city of Liverpool, here's a Corgi model of it . (photo : eBay.)

Here's a photo of Corgi's The Italian Job set.
This is a model of the toy coach with the twin front steering axles that I remember as a kid, the Dinky Vega Major luxury coach, with flashing indicators!

Those are some pretty neat toys.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I never noticed the double axel steering on The Italian Job.
Huh! Corgi and Dinky versions of the bus. Neat!
Thanks for posting these, I had never known about these.
I'm always fascinated by unusual designs!
They are nice, aren't they. I really wanted the Dinky one when I was a youngster, I thought it looked really good, especially as it had working indicators.
DeleteI'm glad you raised the issue, Scott.
Neat post Scoop and once again educational!
