22301 Major Oval Tanker	THE REAL VEHICLE   The Ergomatic cab was introduced by the Leyland group in the mid 1960s, the name was taken from the term ergonomic, meaning functional design and ease of use, these being major features of the cabs interior layout. The Leyland range was named Beaver, Hippo, Super Comet or Octopus depending on how many axles were fitted to the chassis. The cab was also fitted to the AEC and Albion products, which were also part of the Leyland group. The Albion versions were known as Clydesdale, Super Reiver or Cheiftain. The AEC versions depending on the combination driven and non driven wheels, were named Mercury, Mammoth Major, Marshall, or Mandatar. THE EFE MODEL   The Ergomatic truck was introduced into the range, along with the Bedford TK in 1996. The model can be produced in 2, 3 or 4 axle long rigid form, and also as a 2 axle articulated tractor unit. So far none of the shorter chassis & body variants seen on other models in the EFE range have been used with this cab. All the rigid releases to date have had body types previously used with the AEC Mammoth Major and Atkinson Knight trucks. A new articulated tanker trailer was introduced in late 2007 and for it's first release it was combined with the existing Ergomatic tractor unit. EFE appear to have produced the same model variant under two different series numbers, the 4 axle flatbeds 23101 and 26001 appear to be identical castings, but if anyone can see a diiference please let me know. Please note that the release months shown on some of the model pages, are based on those printed on EFE release sheets, the actual release month may have been later in some cases.
