Built around the legendary attributes of the rugged Land Rover series, the 1 Tonne Forward Control vehicle was designed to meet a British Army requirement for an effective light gun tractor, one which was also capable of transporting 1 tonne of ammunition and other equipment in its load compartment.
These vehicles were also required to be carried by air transport, and repositioning the Rover V8 engine to a position behind the cab removed the bonnet and gave these vehicles their distinctive flat front profile. These small, yet powerful 4x4 vehicles continued the legacy of the highly successful Land Rover in military service.

The 1 Tonne Forward Control vehicle was crafted based on the renowned Land Rover series, fulfilling the British Army's need for a light gun tractor capable of carrying 1 tonne of ammunition and other gear in its cargo area.
These vehicles needed to be air transportable, and by placing the Rover V8 engine behind the cab, the bonnet was eliminated, resulting in their characteristic flat-front appearance. These compact yet powerful 4x4s upheld the successful legacy of Land Rover in military applications.

The original store sold only model soldiers trading from approximately 10sm but soon expanded to include model kits and model rail.
The early trading name of the store was Mainly Military, reflecting the model soldier bias, but changed in the late eighties to trade as Frontline Hobbies.
Later, radio control was added to the range, then Die-Cast collectables, games, puzzles and finally under twelves educational toys.
Located at 5 Lang Road, Broadmeadow, NSW, 2292, Australia. If you are planning a visit, please allow several hours to take it all in. If you cannot physically visit, please take a virtual tour.
