Manufacturer description

The attractive livery of Trevor Pye Transport has been reproduced to great effect on this latest release of the 1:76 scale Leyland DAF short fridge trailer. The company was founded by husband and wife team Trevor and Margaret Pye in 1984 and remains a family run firm with its base in Wem, North Shropshire. The vehicle is proudly flying the flags of the three home nations, giving an indication of its field of distribution throughout the UK. Concentrating primarily on the transport of temperature controlled goods, the cargo varies from refrigerated food and fruit to groceries and seeds.

Registered simply L3 PYE, the bright blue tractor unit sits on a red chassis and two additional roof spotlights have been incorporated just below the white aerofoil. The white trailer, also on a red chassis, carries the company name prominently printed in red with blue dropped shadow along the sides, making it quite an eye-catching truck.
