You're too kind. Kinda like my warehouse when I need an odd one.

Not sure. Just it was stated " Tyres: 10.50 - 16 ". A couple of Polish sites for the Bedford lorry state the same saying that's the tyre size. Also i found this data spec for the tractor and the Tasker trailers that seem to have the wheels of the same diameter but slightly "thicker". IMHO the diameter of the trailer wheel was about 1,25m.

The Bedford OCX tractor ...

Well my friend Wojtek,
you've come thru again. That sheet with the Bedford specs gave me the wheel base of the truck.
The wheel at 37" as posted by Terry above, fits and gives me overall scale. When I scaled the lot
to the WB, the length of the trailer fits the image of 109 to trailer and tie down.
Brilliant!

Yes they show as jpegs, but to copy turn to wbpg images. I had to have my wife........... show me the Snip tool. All done and rescaled. All good mate! You are a champ.

Thanks but I am just doing the trailer for this one.
Your last photos have been just the best I could ask for.vThis is my overlay for construction at 72nd scale, eeeeeeeasy
The colors indicate my "steel" parts. I've taken the liberty of spacing evenly the vertical supports. Kinda rapt for this.
Just need to find rear wheels at about 15mm, 2 x "5" at 8.5mm, 2 bars at 10mm long. Gonna be a fun build.
