About this product...
The Corgi ERF KV 11301 is a superbly executed die‑cast model that celebrates one of Britain’s most respected heavy‑haul combinations of the mid‑20th century. Produced as part of the Corgi Classics series, this 1:50 scale ERF KV platform lorry with matching drawbar trailer captures the rugged, dependable character of the KV range with exceptional fidelity.
Finished in the distinctive Russel of Bathgate livery, the model reflects the proud identity of one of Scotland’s best‑known haulage firms. The deep blue and red colour scheme is applied with crisp precision, complemented by period‑accurate lining and fleet branding that evokes the look of a hardworking transport outfit from the golden age of British road haulage.
The ERF KV cab is beautifully reproduced, showcasing the truck’s iconic squared‑off profile, detailed radiator grille and robust stance. The long platform bodies — both on the main vehicle and the trailer — feature finely cast planking detail, realistic tie‑points and clean deck lines that make the model ideal for pairing with loads, diorama accessories or display arrangements.
Collectors will appreciate the premium touches throughout:
Precision‑moulded cab lines and chrome‑effect trim
Realistic wheel hubs and tyre textures across all eight lorry wheels and trailer axles
Clear glazing revealing subtle interior cab detail
Accurate drawbar and coupling arrangement between lorry and trailer
A commanding overall length that gives the model real presence in any display
As a display piece, the 11301 Russel of Bathgate ERF KV stands out for its scale, colour and authenticity. It pairs beautifully with other Corgi Classics commercial vehicles, particularly those representing British hauliers, and offers a striking centrepiece for collectors of vintage transport, Scottish haulage history or ERF‑themed collections.
The Corgi Classics ERF KV 8‑Wheel Platform Lorry & Trailer “Russel of Bathgate” 11301 is a bold, nostalgic and meticulously crafted model — a celebration of classic British road transport and the dependable engineering that defined an era.
