Now I´ve found out that they are all sligthly differnet :-)
I just checked Nick's guide; he lists 26 different variations for the Euclid. Did you happen to get one with a white hyrdosleeve? The Euclid is one of my favorite Regular Wheels castings.

Now I have five of these models (so another 21 to look for :) ) and all have the black hydrosleeve.
I remember my Dads modelrailway layout, there was a querry with this model loaded with a big Stone together with the weatherhill, a caterpillar and a Schuco excavator.
I always loved it.

Hi,
here is a Mack Dumper truck in yellow.
This model is quite hard to repaint because of all the corners and uneven areas and the mounted tipper.

Hi,
here two pictures of my new Esso tanker.
The Drivers cab is a bit to big for the rest of the model and it is not possible to tip it over.

I don't think it looks that out of place regards the oversized cab, but presumably the cab is a different scale to the model that originally had the tanker component, but as I said, it does not look that bad.

it looks like the sort of tanker that used to deliver home heating oil, they usually had a smaller tank as they didn't need to carry as much fuel as one serving petrol stations
nice simple and effective custom
