A lorry in its setting
The description mentions milk lorries, coal transport and haulage companies. A diorama places the vehicle in a situation, making its task at least as important as its make.
Details of the model
Look at the cab, the load space and the company lettering. These parts offer points of comparison. The explanations help you understand which period or working situation is depicted.
A personal perspective
The museum’s story is linked to the interest and driving experience of collector Wim Al. Ask how that perspective comes through in the models and scenes chosen.
Before you go
