I find it odd that the Six boxes with the Red 'Superfast' text are not numbered concurrent, 1 to 6, 10 to 15 or 30 to 35 etc, but apart from 14 and 15, they are seperate.

Hello Alex that Badger is in there because that was the 1st # 16 to come out other wise there would be a gap in the collection :lol: :lol:

Hello John there are 27 "F" boxes plus some variations excluding the "F" boxes in Red Script although the ones with Red script also come in the normal "F" box these models also come in "G" boxes, and a few of the normal "F" boxes are very scarce that should be very good for thought now you are into Superfast.

Ghosty - the six red script F boxes were the first six RW models reissued with SF wheels. They were chosen as those models in the existing range that would be easiest to convert and best suited to the change, rather than simply starting at number 1 and reissuing sequentially.

They're lovely boxes, but quite tricky to get hold of. I still don't have any of them after nearly 20 years collecting. :(

Cheers,
Gavin
