Re: Fingers crossed it’s genuine
Looks like a great lot that would be fun to work through! Is it the red-interiored Miura that you want to be genuine? Hard to imagine why it wouldn’t be in a collection like this. Good luck!

Re: What's happened to the forum?
On my iPad I can add pictures but I have to do it before entering the text. Previewing the post reveals the attachment area again though it seems like the option to place images in the body of the text has gone and they can only be at the end. From Safari on my Mac I haven’t been able to add picture...

What's happened to the forum?
Is everyone else having the same problem posting that I've had? I may have got round it by ticking "do not automatically parse URLs".

Re: Matchbox 58 Girder Truck with GREEN GRILLE
That's a fabulous find and definitely one I'd like to have! It must have the first base that Bert showed here, without support for the windows. Brilliant!

Re: Interesting K8 Traxcavator
That prepro is fabulous. I think there must have been an even earlier version with the hydrosleeve rivet hole in the lower cast ring with its neat bolt heads.

Re: Interesting K8 Traxcavator
By increasing the lengths of the pins and turning them into rivets certainly would have improved efficiency of painting and assembly of this arm and hydro-sleeve housing. Painting of three parts and then trying to assemble would have been a messy process. Also makes for better stock storage. Briili...

Re: Interesting K8 Traxcavator
Thanks, everyone - I think you’ve solved it! First, here’s the back and hook, which is not like the prepro version that Dave and Jason have, but shows that it’s the first production casting.

Interesting K8 Traxcavator
What do you make of this one? As far as I can see it has all the characteristics of the hard-to-find all yellow model, except for one obvious difference! It’s had a hard life (both back hubs are broken) but hasn’t been apart.
