  Gloucestershire's large load moving community lost a valuable personality in 2003 with the death of John Golding, whose Kingswood - near Wotton Under Edge - based firm subsequently closed in 2004. The Mellor Brothers tribute - seen here with some original research material - features a Volvo FH12 tractor and 1984 vintage Broshuis 4 axle trailer which can extend to 104'. The three axle ( 6x4 ) double drive tractor is a superdetailed model by Promatize, a division of Lledo, while the trailer was scratchbuilt from two Langley kits.
