Here is my No. 26 Cable Truck. It’s orange with blue windows, black base, and has a black plastic pallet (fixed) which holds 2 dark-grey spools (detachable). The lettering on the base reads, from front:

So far I’ve seen 3 variants (incl. Familybucket’s).. 2 w/ diff. bases and 1 w/ non-standard wheels (mine’s standard). I think there’s another variation with red, or dark orange, body colour. If someone can upload photos of this or any other variations that would be good. Thanks.

Nice one, Nearlymint. A bit battered, but still a gem to have!

What's your take on it, Jason? Pre-production or production error?

This one I would have to go with a pre-production as it was with a few other preproduction models in one lot.J
