Casting #13 Ford Thames Trader

[johnnijhuis]

First of all I would confoirm the model of Antonin Shenk concerning a block under the right Headlamp. I founds the same model in my collection.

As Base 4 (11.5 BLACK WHEELS) without blocks under the headlights.

Image 1 ? Is it a bug from the metal foundry (casting) ?

Antonin look at http://www.mbxforum.com/11-Catalogs/00- ... eutel=1641 or http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk ... /xx13c.htm for an explanation.

But the block is different as on the model picture 2?
Hence my question whether it is a casting error. (Oops Model) ?

Hi Johnnijhuis
I know the explanation, the die was damaged first below the right headlamp, and then the die was "repaired" with adding symetrical block under the left headlamp.

Hi Mike
it is not ooops or casting error but the start of the damage of the die, (similar to 16c Scammell, code 4).

Very nice summary: http://www.mbxforum.com/11-Catalogs/00- ... eutel=1641
but one wheel variation is missing, with GPW ø11,5x45

Could it be that we had just hijacked Georges' 1-75 Casting Show with threads & posts of unlisted variations.
I find these unlisted variations posts informative and we do know and feel your excitement about posting topics relating to any unlisted variations and we all do welcome such topics from our experienced members of the panel/in the fraternity and from whom many of us learn but i feel that it should be served in the appropriate sticky viz. Missing & Unlisted 1-75 Rw Variations that was recently assigned.
I personally feel that its an intrusion on Mr Marshalls pride and his keenness to keep us informed by showing-off all these super boxed castings with little or no interference from our members.It clearly states "Georges Casting Show" whereby Mr George Marshall posts his numerically available variants weekly and all members could thereafter show off relevant castings from their collection.We owe this bit to Mr George Marshall for these tedious tasks,time & efforts but that which also brings him joys of the harvest.
No offence or upsets intended for any member/poster in any way whatsoever but encourage more relevant posts in their appropriate threads/categories.Im sure we all need some sort of order on the forum.
What do other members think.

Hi Numi
Good idea. I've only followed the topic and I did not want to jump to another chatroom column.
