There are two things that I do not like about these B-T model Foden DG6/15 Eight Wheeler Lorries of
NMI - Northern Motor Utilities:-I think that they are 1.76th scale - too small - and B-T have made a right
mess of the Foden DG radiator styling Apart from these facts,the B-T scale models of Foden DG lorries in various liveries,such as Bouts Tillotson -British Road Services green,Bouts Tillitson maroon and cream,
Pickfords dark blue,with white relief,and British Road Services Ayres Red look alright:-

I think my favourite B-T Foden DG model is the Bouts Tillotson Foden DG6/15 Boxvan Eight Wheeler Lorry:-
modelbuszone.co.uk/britbus/b … s/da16.htm
…But…oh that terriable mess that B-T Models have made of the DG radiator! Why the hell
didn’t B-T get it right? If Dinky Models got the radiator right on their Foden DG6/15 eight wheeler models -
and they most certainly did! - B-T Models should have got the DG radiator styling right too! :-
Foden DG6 4x2 Showmans Ballast Diesel Road Locomotive,Dinky Code 3 Model:-
Foden DG6/15 Dropside Eight Wheeler Lorry,Dinky Supermodels 501,it brings back many happy memories of my Dinky Foden DG6/15 Dropside 8,which was in exactly the same colours as this one I intend to get another one in the same livery,even though I’ve now got a two-tone blue Foden DG6/15:-
And this is a real full-size Foden DG lorry,and you can see how Dinky Models,unlike B-T Models ,got the styling of the DG radiator just right :-
Foden DG6/12 Dropside 6x4 Lorry,DHH 74,THE PRESIDENT:-
As for the other B-T Models NMI models,such as the Albion Clydesdale LAD and Foden Alpha 6x2 Twin Steer Boxvan Articulated Lorry,apart from being
too small,look alright
