I wonder why the 1st casting and the last casting had Gold trim, but the Yellow ones below had Silver trim.

Just these three wheel type, alas no spw to show.

Image
Image
With-out the Brace, and with a Brace between the rear of the cab and the tank.

Image
The 11b has six different base variations, the three shown are A-B-F. all the bases can be seen on Nicks variation site.

Image
Image
The all Yellow, and the Red and Yellow versions, these 11c models have Jib casting variations and a singl or double strand hook.

Image
It looks like the two different Yellows are the same as those used on the 11a Yellow Tankers.
Image
The small 11.5x45 tread rear wheel and the bigger 12.5x40 tread rear wheel.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

A Very nice disc wheel variation Numi! I have owned several of these over the years, they were a first batch delivery to our U.S. stores in the Summer of 1964. These hit our local 5 and dime store just as I went from playing with Lesneys in the sand in our backyard, to collecting and displaying them on shelves my Dad scratch built for me. I still have my original 28 car shelf, along with about 10 other units which became much larger through our years of collecting. I also still have my original 1964 Bronner Catalog with my huge X's in it's boxes to note the models I had bought that first year. The Beatles were invading as I was starting a lifelong hobby with these small Lesney wonders.......kwakers
