1992 saw the release of the McMullens Foden. It was the eighth livery and was the black and red of McMullen's Brewers with its gold lining and company crest.
This famous Hertfordshire brewery became the second (Y27-1) 1922 Foden Steam Wagon with a load of five beer barrels. Unlike the Guinness, all five barrels tops were tampo decorated.
Like the previous issue the baseplate was metal with a box fixing screw hole and as it was made in China so the baseplate was modified accordingly.
The production run was 35,000.
