Is the Scania tag from an aftermarket manufacturer?

I could be mistaken, but that looks a lot like the Italeri Scania tag-axle set up.

Yes it does actually Bren👍

no it was just what someone was building from what i know
the wrecker and marathon is neil69's build so it should be on the forum somewhere
if it's the TK I am thinking of, then it was built by Simon Batterby

I love that AEC wrecker with the Marathon on the hook, and the TK artic looks great, whoever built that did a lovely job on the early “ cats whisker” cab👍👍
