Product Code:

Production Details:
Richard Read Transport was started in 1946 by Richard Read Senior
with one vehicle and a shovel. By the 1960's there were over 80 'Richard Read' vehicles
on the road. Today they operate a range of vehicles - tippers, tautliners, low loaders
and flats. His first lorry cost him 350.00 and in the first month of operation, he handled
1,350 tons of stone to help build the Gloucester Ring Road. Extra contracts soon followed
and additional lorries were bought and shortly afterwards Richard bought his first new
vehicle, a Bedford four-wheeler, registration number KFH 8. In 1959 they purchased their
first ERF, registration TDG 689 and it was the first Articulated Tractor Unit in the
fleet. (OO Gauge / 1:76 Scale)
