DescriptionWhile the Showmans engines were a curiosity at carnivals, the Foden Trucks were the workhorses of industry. This Wilesco D310 is a wonderful little recreation of one of these vehicles, designated the ‘Mighty Atom’.Foden Trucks was a British bus and truck manufacturer, established in 1856 and while the company still exists today, it was acquired by a French firm in the 1980s and no longer uses the Foden Trucks name. In the late 1800s, the race was on to develop a self-propelled steam lorry and like many firms in the era, Foden Trucks stepped into the ring, proposing several prototypes. Over the years, they produced a number of different models, one of which Wilesco has faithfully recreated – the ‘Mighty Atom’.A wonderful little piece of steam engine history and a great addition to any collection!Fuel type: Dry Fuel Dimensions: 360 x 155 x 200 mm Notable features: Unique livery, wooden platform
