Shelvoke & Drewry Freightlifter British Rail Crimson

Shelvoke & Drewry Freightlifter British Rail Crimson

In 1:148 scale we have the distinctive Shelvoke & Drewry Freightlifter as used by British Railways and appears in the BR signature crimson colour scheme with cream lettering. Further decoration includes a black interior with black wheels, mudguards, mast chains and spotlight.

The real life vehicle was first produced in 1952 for the London Brick Company but its capabilities made it a popular vehicle for other users, particularly the railways and the Armed Forces. Our British Railways replica is registered LLU 748 and features the optional Dualdrive component. Note the British Railways totem on the sides in cream/crimson and the SD Freightlifter logo on the rear of the forklift in bright red/white.

For model railway buffs, this detailed trackside accessory will add further authenticity to a layout of the period.
