After a lot of work this is what I ended up with. In this case the lorry is supposed to be around 1/16th scale but I bent the rules slightly and went for 1/12th scale doll’s house figures and accessories.

The scratch built workbench is mainly fitted out with doll’s house bits and pieces but I scratch made the finishing plane. The floorboards are also doll’s house wooden flooring, given an enamel wash and distressed with a pan scourer.

The grinding wheel and the table saw are both powered via the drive shaft which is turned by the Meccano motor. The battery pack is inside the wooden cabinet with the on off switch being turned on by moving the tool box.

The rack contains stock wood and a ladder at the bottom so our workman can get in and out of the back.

The transfers were all printed for me by a specialist company after I created the original design in Microsoft Word.

The boiler was clad and then weathered and the lamps are all operational. The ones on the chassis from the receiver power pack and the ones on the cab from another battery pack under the driver’s seat.

Figures are doll’s house resin figures but repainted. The roof rack was fitted with tie down rails and the chest on the roof rack is scratch built from coffee stirrers.
