Finally managed to take some pictures of my Grey Racks and the rest of my Tasker Tractor transporters. This was one of my favourite toys as a kid and consequently I can't seem to go past them, I have more later boxed versions in storage somewhere
Grey Racks
The grey racks I have acquired have all come with Red petrol tank cab units and do not have braces at the top of the Trailer Headboard, photo below Braced on the right
They also don't have the Pat No cast into the trailer behind the axle or the additional plastic suspension piece on the trailer axle.
Whilst taking these pictures I located today a trailer without the headboard brace but which has the patent number reference so I have 3 distinct versions of the trailer.
The last grey rack I got as part of the lot below, I was originally only interested in the lot because of the Grey Rack Tasker. but the rest of the King size turned out to be pretty good too. Supposedly the lot has survived two generations. The King Size are all in roughly the same condition, slightly faded wheels, playworn and dusty which would lead me to believe they have been together a long time and as such un;likely to have been messed with.
Pics below are of my Transporter Acquisitions to date.
Along with my spare Tractors awaiting a ride.
Bizarrely enough I also picked up the Orange Tractor Big MX Version of the Tasker Transporter as part of a lot, paid less for the lot than the Orange tractor BIG MX version usually goes for on its own.
