The notion of a handyman-a person skilled at a wide range of basic repairs and maintenance jobs—has informal roots that go back centuries, but wasn't a formal profession until more organized home services emerged in the 20th century.

Description: A light blue body on a black chassis; maroon seat and cab roof; gold 12 spoke wheels; lettering is in white with red lining. Load consisting of wooden and wire fencing, planks and a ladder.

Notes: Tangley Models and Trainline Models bought the designs of the original Creak models after Eric Creak stopped producing the Alternative Collection. These models, although Creaks models, have no numbers underneath on the baseplates but are numbered on the box - These models are just as desirable in their own right.

This model is packaged in either a Y26 maroon J-type window box or a Y13 straw-style window box.
