Hello Antoine.

I have resized the pictures for you and flipped them over.
If you go into the Lounge section of the forum, look at the 7th topic (thread), down the list and click-on the 'Edit Your Pictures' and have a read, there are some handy hints and tips in there, anything not clear for you just come back here and give us a shout.

Thank you Ghosthunter
Much appreciated!

The yellow crawler is a fairly common colour but I don't recall seeing a red one before, Very nice.

The red one is, in fact, extremely rare in any condition. I was lucky to find one which has some paint loss but is not in anyway damaged and is totally original. When I have some free time I will upload more pictures of my other rare early Lesney toys to share with you.

Hi Antoine.
I just heard from Gary Galvin who has one of the nicest and most complete early lesney collections. He does not have a red crawler !. I agree with you, It must be extremely rare.

I got one !!! Indeed red is extremely hard to find and this one shown here is only the 3rd I know of. Not sure why as red must have been an easy colour to come by after the war.

It is a bit odd when you think about it. The road roller in red is difficult too, yet Condon issued (I would guess) at least a third of their dumpers (the large scale 2a) in red.

Took me over ten years to get a red crawler,it really is down to luck,has for rollers i think the hardest one to find is the dark normal green with a driver
