Year Information: This model is based on the very successful Leyland T45 Roadtrain and like its counterpart the 1628 Sleeper, the cab is fitted with a sleeping bunk. The detailing is superb with air horns, air conditioning unit, aerial, ladder and front crash grille all added to the basic cab. These parts together with the wheels have been vacuum plated to make the model even more attractive. Vehicles in this style with similar box trailers can be seen at Grand Prix race tracks throughout the world, having been used to transport the team cars and equipment.
Use of these vehicles with the C.156 and C.152 inner curves is not recommended.
The height of the trailers and extra length wheelbase can sometimes restrict access particularly when attempting to travel over and under flyovers, hump bridges, etc.
