It is hard to put my finger on it, but British trucks often have a look that somehow immediately marks them as British. Case in point, my new Lego DAF XG, as operated by Manners Transport from Northumberland. I think it is mainly the colour blocking, with contrasting red and bright light yellow elements.

Manners specializes in transporting farming equipment, such as combine harvesters. However, since I already have a combine harvester transport, this model was going to carry a tractor instead. I picked a Deutz-Fahr tractor because its bright green colour contrasts nicely with the truck.

When I posted a picture of the tractor model last week, fellow Dutch truck builder Legorigs wrote that I ought to be able to fit two of them on a trailer. Such a great idea! This was not part of my plan, but two tractors are obviously better than one, so I built a second example.
Let’s see how this plan came together
