Oxford Diecast
1:76 Scale
For OO Gauge model railways
Ford of Europe started manufacturing the Ford Transit in
1965 and this model of their first variant the Mk 1 from that period is
registered UAR 337F from 1967. Decorated in the British Rail yellow livery of
the day, the van carries the Double Arrow logo in red on both sides as well as
on the back of the vehicle, with British Rail printed in black. The van
interior is also black.
In the 1960's the company wanted to create a more modern and
efficient image, and they felt that yellow was a color that would be both
eye-catching and memorable.
The yellow livery was first introduced in 1963, and it was
applied to a variety of vehicles, including vans, trucks, and buses. The yellow
vans were particularly popular with children, who often referred to them as
"banana vans."
The yellow livery was discontinued in the early 1990s.
