A pair I bought ages ago because firstly, I had one as a kid, and secondly, I do like industrial railways. I believe the shunter is based on an American Plymouth shunter/switcher. Somewhere online there is someone's tale of motorising one for use on a train set. I guessed when I got it that the base was shared with the flat car but are they all un-numbered like mine?

My battered old thin wheeled Rolls royce models.
Top one with small wheels.
Middle one larger wheels.
Lower one has the regular wheel body.

Nice shunter - I haven't seen that one before. All the green one's I've seen have been non-metallic with an old British Railways style number (D____) rather than the Rail Freight label.

Ritchie, welcome back to the VBD Forum, thought we had lost you forever, great to hear from you.
What a nice selection of Rolls-Royce models you have presented, a great start to your forum posts.
There are a lot of experts around the forum, especially on British "Matchbox", but several forum members also know about these Bulgarian versions, so if you want any specific information about them, just ask.
Regards,
GHOSTHUNTER.
