Re: 2a - Muir Hill dumper

Glad to hear they are both genuine variations. Just checked my green wheeled one in my for sale models. That has both axles unpainted.

2a - Muir Hill dumper - A script box

Have two different ones - with and without red "MADE IN ENGLAND" on one side. (One has it on both sides, the other only on one). Have the same with my A script boxes for number 3 cement mixer.

2a - Muir Hill dumper

I have two green wheeled versions (though one on left has a lot of paint worn off from play wear). One has axle on smaller wheels painted green as if sprayed with both wheels and axles on, whereas the other has both axles unpainted.

3d - Monteverdi Hai - ooops

Red seats, but unsure which model they are from as certainly not the correct ones for this model. This is silver painted base version.

6d - Ford pickup

NJ's listing quotes baseplate colour option as "gloss green". Is that what this one is? Or is this turqouise?

6c - Euclid quarry truck

I have this one - body 2, no trim, black hydrosleeve, but with tipper 3. (NJ's listing only has tippers 4,5,6 for body 2).

Re: 6b - Quarry truck

Thanks for the info. FYI I have four other 6b's, all MIB - all have door decals, none have any silver trim at all.

6b - Quarry truck

NJ's listing says that this model was fitted with door decals. This otherwise code 1 has none. Is it conceivable that the first ones had no decals, or do you think those on mine were removed by a previous owner. (No trace of decals on what is otherwise a model in very good condition).
