25v and 252 Bedford Refuse Wagon (1948-65)

I do have a reproduction of exactly that one. Did not scan it yet and I am unable to do so on short notice. I will send you the scan privately in due time, unless someone else is able to help you immediately. Perhaps we should include it in the 'Publications' section. Kind regards, Jan

Jan. Thanks very much. I will see who's the first. Kind regards, Jan Oldenhuis

Today i received this rare bedford refuse wagon with orange cab, silver radiator and cream hubs. Normaly seen with green diecast or red plastic hubs. For comparison i have included a picture of my fleet of bedfords. Also a picture of another rare version with army green hubs. Normally the hubs are red, light green on some.

Splendid. I like very much the Bedfords radiators and that's why I collect all the bedfords that I can find !

Hi all, Is this model a type O Bedford or else ?Thank you for your help. Jacques

Jacques. Perhaps this 1947 brochure will help? Jan O.

Many thanks Jan, I knew that one of those guys would know but you have provided more information than I expected. Now we know that : the Bedford truck is a type OSA the tipper a tiper a type OSAT the Pullmore and the artic are of the OSS type the 25v refuse wagon is probably also an OSATWhat we do not know is the scale of this truck. I can not read your flyer, is the length printed there ? Kind regards Jacques

There is a clearer copy of this charming brochure here: www.veikl.com/d/Bedford-Trucks-and-OB-Co...ochure-1947-EN-86471 . It shows the OSA wheelbase for example at 111 inches (2.82m).
