Alex, maybe you're right.motorman wrote:Hugh, one thing i noticed with the images posted is that when both models are photographed next to each other the red box variant appears smaller in every way to its green boxed cousin.
I am sure that the camera is tricking my mind some how, but the red box version certainly looks shorter in height and length or is this a characteristic of the different variation codes?
Rather embarrassingly, at the moment, I can't lay my hands on anything other than RW code 5 and SF. However, all those refrigerator boxes are identical (i.e. low roof). Furthermore, certainty the F box and possibly also the E box show this same "low roof" casting.johnboy wrote:The photos do give the impression that the models are different lengths and heights.

Is anyone in a position to compare other RW variation codes' refrigerator boxes with either RW code 5 or any SF model? IS it that the addition of the rear bumper is indicative of a complete retooling of the box, or has Mike done it again and the "high roof" model in his photographs represents yet another rarity?

Agreed. Thread moved to RW area as suggested.motorman wrote:I think this discussion should now be moved from the lounge to the "Lesney Matchbox regular wheels 1-75" or the "Missing & unlisted 1-75 RW Variations" section of the forum as this could be of interest to a lot of RW collectors out there.
I am hooked seeing as i noticed the apparent different castings.
