There is also a crossover trailer consisting of a red bed with dark blue bogies. The very few examples I have seen have all had a dark blue tractor unit as well. Photographs included in this thread.

The Ruston-Bucyrus fits on the trailer so well. I must wonder if that was by design?

there was a USA Ebay seller who had one with the very rare E box (damaged) but although I made many bids, seller didn't reply.
He had his settings without any possibilities about sending him a message.
Seems there are still Ebay sellers out there who don't want to sell ...

Hi, the photos in this tread were NOT shown by me , I just mentioned that there was.Ebay seller in the USA having a model with the very E box.
He probably didn't want to sell as he refused to answer my questions and reply on my bids.
