Built between 1937 and 1945, the Pioneer gave excellent service throughout World War Two as an artillery tractor amongst other heavy haulage uses and after the War it proved equally useful in civilian life. It was a particular favourite with fairground operators, where its power was much appreciated. Here we see it as used by the famous T Whitelegg showman family, complete with a tow hook variant and registered NFJ 847G. Advertising their Dodgems ride, the model is decorated in their maroon and red colour scheme with fine gold and black coachlines to the front and sides and their colourful TW logo etched on the cab doors. . The chunky wheels have red inserts to match the chassis colour of this Number One vehicle in the Whitelegg fleet. Note the rolled up 'canvas' window blinds to the cab. A lovely little authentic detail!
