Reading the above, I'm trying to place which variation this is. Silver trim Shouldered front wheels (hole in base, bumper/chassis brace & chassis/wing brace - body 3?) With text on small wheels No stoppers on tipper bed Chassis brace I'm thinking Code 6

Here's one I've had for a while that shows what might have been if they'd included a driver Can't quite figure how it was done as the driver's top half of body sits on a piece of what looks like balsa wood which appears too large to fit through any of the windows.
The base rivet is clean and untouched

Hi Rodger,

On play worn models like this the tipper axle pin supports are often slightly bent. If you look on the tipper tray ( where circled ) with an eye loupe or magnifier glass you may see the blocks have partly worn or snapped off.

Thanks Bert, I'll have a close look with a loupe when I get home tonight.

Had a close look and no evidence of supports.

Hi Rodger,
Don't forget the stop will be right underneath when fully open like this. J

Thanks for the information - upon closer inspection I can now see where the stops have been broken off.

Just like the reverse wreckers casting i bought to light . Both external and internal . Its the only way to stop the fakes

Very nice model Jason. I am looking for this variation a long time. I think that you have discovered a new detail of already known variation.
