Corgi 1:76 Green Goddess (Operation Fresco)

An icon of emergency motor heritage and despite their age, many are still in working order today.  Originally developed in the event of a Soviet nuclear strike, it was a fire engine used by the AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) and more recently by the British Armed Forces during fire strikes of 1977 and 2002 (codename Operation Fresco).

These largely green-painted vehicles were built between 1953 and 1956 based on an army truck, weighed in at 7.5 tonnes and had a top speed of 45mph.  In 2005 the Ministry of Defence sold more than 20 as the government disposed of surplus vehicles. All of the machines were sold for between £3,500 and £7,500.

The Trackside range is the perfect accessory for a railway layout (OO) or a themed diorama.
