Oxford Diecast Foden FG 8 Wheel Platform Robsons Of Carlisle

The Foden FG harks back to 1948 although the Foden name originates even earlier - to 1887 when the company was founded by Edwin Foden. The family dynasty based in Sandbach continued until 1980 when the company was taken over by American company Paccar. Sadly it only lasted a few years before eventually becoming defunct in 2006. In the early days their only competitor was Thornycroft, another classic name in the pioneering days of road haulage.
