10 d Pipe truck?

[Dr Jazz]

I think this may have been left soaking in bleach which can take the chrome off of the baseplate,
someone want to experiment with a beater?

I will put my purple NAMC in..........

This might be the reason, but why? isnt it more plausible that they never platted it? maybe ran out one the production day? I do not have a pipe truck beater to try this, but I will find a ergomatic cab to do a test.

Maybe it was dropped down a toilet and a very carering mum Dettoled it as it was a favorite?

and once again.
forgotten past, and over.
The model comes in a drawer in the archive.
And not into the toilet.

So now I got the truck, and I am pretty sure that it has left Lesney like this. But I am all ears

If it had been bleached would there be any trace of the foil in recessed areas
Also do any others have this mixed plastic moulding under foil?? Looks like a test shot of a mould using recycled scraps
Very nice Dr Jazz

Hello Dr. Jazz,
I think that's fascinating.

The axles could also prove if any harsh chemicals were used.

That's how they all look underneath the thermofoil.

Never knew that as I've never stripped one, does that only apply to the pipe trucks and presumably the Douglas /pointer tippers
Thanks for the info Tinman
