Hello Mick, I will post the boxes here, but I will also post them in the box forum, so that it does not seem with are going off at a tangent with the posts.

As you can see the two SF "F" boxes the Blues are different colours.

Very nice indeed George thankyou :)
Re the pair of black script SF F boxes, the shade difference seems to be reflected in the block around #14 too which makes me suspect the batch of ink rather than a deliberate colour change like the #52 BRM.The RW F box gets my vote for being the lightest of the others, with the G box and red script box being the darkest on my monitor!

Hi George
It took me quite a long time to get the model with base plate type 2

Came across this box without the MADE IN ENGLAND text print in Red at the right hand bottom.

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

I picked up the lighter of the two Iso's at a toy fair a few months ago.

My camera is having difficulty picking up the true shade so I've posted artificial and daylight photos.

The actual colour has a hint of turquiose about it and I wondered if that was the case with the others in this thread?

Very nice John. I was fortunate to pick one up somtime ago. I can't really see any turquoise in it, but I'll have another look in natural light. This is a nice casting and the colour shades display well.

That's three very noticeable shades you have, John.

I think mine matches your lightest model and after looking at it again, I agree that there isn't a hint of turquoise!

I did double check mine John and there was no turquoise to be seen.
