Manufacturer description

This style of bin is commonplace in the world today. Although these bins have been majoritively replaced by plastic versions in more recent years, there are still many metal dustbins out there, although now usually found in a more dilapidated state.

This style was used for many years and it was common to see them all lined up in the front gardens of terrace houses up and down the country, and hidden in porches, sheds, and varying locations around domestic and corporate premises.

Model details

Gaugemaster OO Scale Traditional Dustbins (10 pcs, pre‑built) are a set of miniature metal bins designed for modelling. The product is supplied in a pristine finish and is identified by the manufacturer part number GM494.

Each dustbin measures 6 mm in length, 6 mm in depth and 10 mm in height. The set contains ten individually pre‑assembled pieces, allowing immediate placement in a layout.

The design mirrors the metal street dustbins that were common in the United Kingdom for many decades, often seen in the front gardens of terraced houses, porches, sheds and various domestic or commercial premises. In recent years these bins have largely been superseded by plastic versions, although many original metal bins remain in use, typically in a more weathered condition.
