40b Leyland Royal Tiger Coach

[Diecast]

There are two variations of the riveted base plate. The very late base plate has a larger and thicker area for the rivet. Because the hole for the rivet was often cracked during the riveting, the area around the rivet was enlarged and strengthen.

[Diecast]

a) base plate with the front tongue, smaller area for the rivet, typically without "E"
b) base plate with the front tongue, larger area for the rivet, typically with "E"

I am enclosing a proposal of a new 40b list. Please comment.
Thanks

Hi Antonin,
What a superb list and many thanks for adding all your notes, my notes do show I have GP 9x24 model with the B window pillar. I will have to dig the model out and check. J

Antonin, your code 11a. What is base 'Ba' please.

Sorry for confusion. This is my internal remark for the variation with the cracked base plate after riveting.

Thanks Jason for checking it. I was not sure where is the end of the "A" window pillar and where starts "B" pillar.

Hi Antonin,

Thanks Jason, I will update my 40b-proposal. Please check (and other members here too) your models, if you will find some more unlisted variations
