LIMITED edition miniature models of Castle Cement tankers have pride of place in a Clitheroe newsagents.

Cowgills of Clitheroe Ltd, in Market Place, is stocking a limited number of the Corgi ERF EC powder tankers.

Manager David Cowgill said: "We have a limited supply and they are selling very well. We are the local Corgi stockists, but if I hadn't ordered them quickly we wouldn't have got any."

He said the models, priced at £45, are limited to 2,600 worldwide and Corgi has already distributed most of the stock to shops across the country.

Castle Cement public relations manager Carol Boots added: "We are delighted that our vehicle is being reproduced as a limited edition model. It's been on the cards for a couple of years, so expectation has been rising. The models seem to be selling fast. Many employees have asked to buy one and we have heard from Corgi that stocks are nearly gone."
