Hello Hugh have not seen one with a Silver grille, my two one has just the head lights Silver and the other one the lights and the front bumber.

Not many variations on this one, just the axels and the amount of Silver trim applied to the model.

The 62a is actually a particularly fine casting. If you look at the model side on, note the openings between the load bed and the baseplate.

I agree that this is one of the best known intricately detailed castings around.

I agree too, it's a lovely casting. It could have used a little more strength on the hitch, which breaks very easily.

Not really a problem since it never had anything to pull!

Children are very ingenious and heavy handed.
