Approximately 7 months ago I initiated a thread called 'Where it Came From' The intention was linking the Dinky Toy back to the real world vehicle. In there details of the Trojan will be found in thread #925. It strikes me that all these 'Matching Pictures' threads could be contained within the original theme, is it OK if I ask Dave Kaun to do this? It would simplify matters considerably. Dave

The Trojan was a difficult one to model. Must have been as both Meccano and Lesney Matchbox did it, and neither of them actually look much like the real thing! Personally I was very disappointed when I saw my first real Trojan, as it didn't look half as good as my Dinky one, much narrower and taller, with little or no chrome. Chris Warr.

Yes, I think it's a good idea.

That is very kind of you, Chris. But can you tell me something about the real Trojan van?

The front cover of the Trojan leaflet is shown in my thread on the 'Where it Came From' theme.

Here is Page 6 from that leaflet giving the general spcification. The leaflet is dated October 1950. Hope this helps Dave
