Re: Are rejects a good or a bad thing?
Here is a resized and lightened version of "Greatbrit's" image, Ghosty. Thanks very much Ghosty, much more manageable! I've figured out how to resize the rest of them, but I have 120 photos in all, can't find a way to upload them all in one go. What would be the best way to get that many ...

Re: Are rejects a good or a bad thing?
Now I'm confused Here's picture that shows both, I thought mine had the smooth 'no towguide' edge. In front of the towguide is the license plate frame holder, that looks a bit like a towguide, or maybe that is the towguide?:motorman wrote:Here is the image re sized, it looks like a tow guide to me as well

Re: Are rejects a good or a bad thing?
I'm not entirely sure what a towguide is, but I think there is not one (mine looks like the 'no towguide' photo here: http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk ... /xx31c.htm )kwakers wrote:I see a Towguide on that Lincoln?? kwakers
I've attached a more detailed photo, hope that helps.

Re: Are rejects a good or a bad thing?

Re: Are rejects a good or a bad thing?
My interest now is mainly in regular wheels, so I will comment on what I see in your pictures. The 50 Commer with black plastic wheels is a good model as well as the 34B VW Van you have that looks very Mint.
