MGL Group – Tynedale Roadstone

A True Head-Turner

Joining our growing portfolio of exclusive customer commissions is one of the most distinctive vehicles on the road today: a 1:50 scale Vlastuin Torpedo (6×2) tractor unit paired with a 3-axle bulk tipper trailer, finished in the eye-catching Tynedale Roadstone livery.

Produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as a certificated limited edition, this impressive model recreates a vehicle that has already attracted considerable attention amongst truck enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.

Combining exceptional detail with accurate livery reproduction, the model captures the unmistakable character of the Vlastuin Torpedo. Blending classic styling cues with modern Scania engineering, the real-life vehicle is one of only a handful operating in the UK and has quickly established itself as a standout addition to the Tynedale Roadstone fleet.

Established in 1971, MGL Group has grown into one of the North East’s largest privately owned civil engineering, construction and demolition businesses. Operating across a wide range of specialist disciplines, the Group delivers projects that help shape and improve the built environment throughout the region and beyond.

Tynedale Roadstone forms part of MGL Group’s quarrying and asphalt production division, supplying high-quality asphalt and aggregate products for projects ranging from footpaths and public spaces through to major infrastructure and industrial developments. Supported by modern production facilities and rigorous quality standards, the business has built a strong reputation throughout the construction sector.

As a unique collector’s piece, this model celebrates both the innovation of a modern industry leader and one of the most striking trucks currently operating on Britain’s roads.
