Adrain Harford's GWR Brown Vehicle dia 08 'Syphon C' in O Gauge

Description: This was built from a Scorpio Models etched brass kit. During construction Russ Burridge lent me some documentation on the Syphon vehicles, which described them as having been used for many years to distribute products from Harris's Bacon factory in Calne. As they were my employer one summer (1961 I think) it seemed a good idea to attach the appropiate lables carried whrn in this use. These are home-made, and have stretched a geographical point to suggest that the modelled vehicle could have run through Okehampton.
