The Scania Highline cab has made several appearances
with various trailers for a wide number of haulage companies. This time
it is drawing a brand new flatbed trailer in the bright two-tone blue
and red livery of Ian Craig Haulage Ltd. The company is based in
Central Scotland just off the M876, from where it is ideally placed to
deliver its key loads comprising brick and block, timber and general
haulage. Founded in 1974 by Ian Craig, his three sons are now part of
the business which is now recognised as one of top providers of road
transport services in Scotland.
Oxford's 1:76 scale replica is registered SN15 LVV and like many haulage
vehicles, sports a name on the radiator grille – in this case ‘Broomhill
Courier’. This vehicle is employed as a Craig’s of Denny lorry and
features all the contact details in yellow on the cab sides. The cab,
with a red chassis, features the light blue and dark blue Ian Craig
colour scheme as well as the added detail of the company’s Scottish
thistle insignia on the side edge of the cab within the white printed
line-out. Notice too the Scottish lion holding the Saltire behind the
driver’s window and the discreet Scania badge printed on the back of the
cab.
The blue flatbed trailer, also on a red chassis, has a light brown
floor with red rear bars. The company name is also printed along the
sides of the trailer in white. Why not bring it to life with some of the 1:76 scale Oxford loads?
