Miniatures news, January 1971

The miniatures release for the New Year is a Corgi Major model of a Carrimore Tri-Deck Mk. V car transporter, using a Scammell Handyman Mk. 3 tractor unit. This elaborate Mazak die-cast scale model is very detailed, with two hinged upper decks, a detachable loading ramp, lever-operated trailer coupling, etc., and it takes three Corgi miniature cars on the top deck alone. No. 1146 in the Corgi Major series, it sells for 30s. and is finished in white, orange and blue. The trailer is one of the largest pieces of die-cast modelling ever offered by Corgi, and the whole outfit is 11 3/8 in. in length—lucky children!
