Yesteryear Collection - Kohle and Koks; Coal Truck

Kohle and Koks: The final release of the Crossley was in bright yellow with a black chassis, seats, coal load and cab roof with "Kohle & Koks" (Coal & Coke) tampoed on the sides. It was thought that Lesney would show the German collectors that it had remembered them when designing this livery although it is not very authentic.

The coal load was borrowed from the earlier 'Evans Bros' Crossley but the coal load has two extra sacks molded in.

Livery: (Tampo)
'KOHLE & KOKS' with crossed hammers tampo printed in black on both sides of truck body.

Variations/Rarities: This model can be found with black or dark green wheels which are fitted with the new and much nicer soft rubber tyres.
All kohle & Koks Crossleys had "Made in Macau" baseplates.
