Graham's Road Transport Models

 

Welcome To My Home Page

                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

I built this site to show examples of my scratch-built and code 3 road transport models. I have spent over 45 years building road vehicle models, with my main interest being the vehicles of the UK emergency services. I also have an interest in heavy haulage and fairground models. 

  As well as making models I also edit the National Association of Road Transport Modellers magazine. If you are interested in joining the Association, a membership form is on the NARTM page. You will need Adobe Reader to view the form. 

If you click the link to NARTM at the bottom of this page you will see a selection of models built by members of the Association

I hope you enjoy looking at the models as much as I did making them

 

Acomb Fire & Rescue Service  
1/76th Scale  OO Gauge 

The Acomb Fire & Rescue Service scratch-built fire appliances are made from 20thou plasti-card. The fleet includes two working turntable ladders and a working Simon SS220 hydraulic platform. On some of these models white metal cabs have been used, these have come from a number of different manufacturers. The complete fleet of vehicles are housed in 6 scratch-built Fire Stations, each of these stations represents a different design period from the Edwardian to the present day. 

A number of these models can be seen each year at the Peterborough and Driffield Truckfest Model Shows.
