For me, the highlight of the year was finally obtaining not one, but two,green, large scale, flywheel rollers. it then got even better because I was able to swap the spare green roller for an orange one. Four decades of searching have finally come to an end!

Tell you what, get a 1a or and 18a to go on the trailer, and it'll look even better.

The Apple Green 50a Kennel truck with very rare unpainted base is a great find Al and one any collector of SF would like to have in their collection.

thanks, Rob. I've had it for about 6 months - it came in a large group with one Superfast prepro and lots of more modern items. The seller told me he was clearing out duplicates in his collection. There's another like this on Christian's site.

The 18a is too big for the trailer.
