2a Muir Hill Site Dumper, issued 1953, length 42mm, box types A and B.
2b Muir Hill Site Dumper, issued 1957, length 46mm, box types B and C.
2c Muir Hill Dumper, issued 1962, length 52mm, box types D and E.
2d Mercedes Trailer, issued 1967, length 89mm, box types E and F.
Both of these models have the bucket secured by either a nail or round headed pin, both my models have the nail.
As with 2a, the 2b has three types of securing the bucket to the chassis, either with two studs on the pivit post, or with a biff rivet, the third fixing is with a round headed pin, I only have the first two variations to show.
The one on the left has the thin axle supports, and there is no connecting brace between the chassis and the mudguard.
Also notice that the one with the thin axle supports, the wheels have an extended collar on them to take up the slack on the axle.
Hello Joe (tinman) please put your unlisted variation of the #2c model on show foe us.
I have only got this one 2d model.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
