Hi all
I thought i would join the forum as a collector of dinky and matchbox plus a little tinplate, i have a query i hope someone can answer, does anyone know the two models in the pictures, there does not seem to be any markings apart from the sign on the front top of the bus says LONDON
any help cheers or should they go to the charity shop with all the other mystery objects
thanks anyway

The grooved rollers and raised inside of the rubber tracks should be a hint on the yellow Tractor. Someone here will help you on both, and I am sure they will make the right person very happy. I cannot see details of the Bus, so I am sure someone here may have to 'crop' that picture for you. A needy collector or at worst a Toy dealer should be the receiver of any unwanted vintage Toys, the charity shops may just scrap them as worthless. One man's junk is another man's treasure and could even be very rare.......kwakers

Hi, welcome to the forum. The one is a 35A (ERF) Marshall Horse Box MK7 looks like it has Grey Plastic wheels. I don't know anything about your toy bus or tractor but I re-sized the pic. Hope this helps

Surely that crawler is a Pre-Matchbox lesney Moko example (or am I missing something.
The bus looks like it could possibly be slush cast (can we have a shot from underneath, please?), and I would hazard a guess at it being American. (I don't think it's Manoil, but it has similarities.)

It is a early lesney crawler,looks like a repainted yellow one in a lighter thicker yellow,tracks are always sought after,the other is a charbens coach both are well sought after toys even in this condition.

Hello powerkomet.
Open your picture in 'Paint', click on 'Image', scroll down to 'Resize' and put '20' in each box and Enter/Save.

Ideally you should copy any pictures you are going to post onto the forum and re-size these copies and post those instead of your original pictures.

More on this can be found in the 'Lounge' section of the forum, but you will have to click on an earlier page to find it, trust me, it's in there somewhere, under...Edit your pictures...good luck.

P.S. I have put a 'Quick-link' here for you...viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21
