Reading the above, I'm trying to place which variation this is.
Here's one I've had for a while that shows what might have been if they'd included a driver
Can't quite figure how it was done as the driver's top half of body sits on a piece of what looks like balsa wood which appears too large to fit through any of the windows.
The base rivet is clean and untouched
Silver trim
Shouldered front wheels (hole in base, bumper/chassis brace & chassis/wing brace - body 3?)
With text on small wheels
No stoppers on tipper bed
Chassis brace
I'm thinking Code 62c Muir hill new variation

Re: 2c Muir hill new variation
Hi Rodger,
On play worn models like this the tipper axle pin supports are often slightly bent. If you look on the tipper tray ( where circled ) with an eye loupe or magnifier glass you may see the blocks have partly worn or snapped off.

Re: 2c Muir hill new variation
Thanks Bert, I'll have a close look with a loupe when I get home tonight.

Had a close look and no evidence of supports.

Hi Rodger,
Don't forget the stop will be right underneath when fully open like this. J

Re: 2c Muir hill new variation
Thanks for the information - upon closer inspection I can now see where the stops have been broken off.

Just like the reverse wreckers casting i bought to light . Both external and internal . Its the only way to stop the fakesIdris wrote:Now we know how to tell the genuine reverse colour dumpers from the fakes!
Re: 2c Muir hill new variation
Very nice model Jason. I am looking for this variation a long time. I think that you have discovered a new detail of already known variation.
