Also featured are a rear-axle differential, working steering and leaf-spring suspension.
The swan neck trailer has 4-in-line detachable rear wheels with screw jacks, a winch and portable loading ramps, with automatic coupling and one-action uncoupling provided.
20 pages including text and colour photographs, plus a separately-stapled, 12-page booklet containing diagrams and parts list.

These instructions describe the building of a 1:10 scale model representing an 8-ton heavy-duty forklift truck from the 1950's used in large numbers by British Rail, brickmakers and all 3 armed forces. An additional, rear cab allowed it to be driven at speeds of up to 20mph on public roads with the two sets of controls mechanically linked. A cab roof level tilt ram was another unusual feature.
A single PDU powers forward and reverse drive and up and down mast and mast tilt actions. The model includes coupled steering control, foot pedals and gear levers in both cabs.
24 pages including text and colour photographs, plus a separately-stapled, 12-page booklet of diagrams with parts list.

These instructions describe the construction of a 1/10 scale version of a 2001 Ford IVECO truck with a Champion y/i ton slide bed, built as near as Meccano and the restrictions of a Meccano Set10 allow, the only extra being an electric motor. A two speed and reverse gear box is fitted, driving a strong pinion type differential. A power take-off supplies the sliding platform, the tilt and locking mechanism and the loading winch. The sliding platform stops automatically at each end of its travel. The IVECO crew cab is Meccano friendly, being much 'squarer' than its contemporaries. Instructions for a simple van "load" are included, using some of the parts remaining in the set.
A 20 page booklet of instructions and close-up colour photographs is accompanied by a second 12 page booklet of drawings and parts list.
