Over here in the U.S., that style of Dumper can be found only as an 'Antique' out of the 1930s, and they were very tiny in comparison to the one shown live in your video Ewan. The one in the video is an 'unstyled' 2A, so may be from the 1940s pre-dating Lesneys original model. I enjoyed every minute of the owner playing with it, but wished they did a few minutes showing details of the motor and Truck itself. Thanks for posting this one, it is Great! kwakers
