Lovely models gentlemen, and I agree Jim, this model seems so underrated. I saw an example of the Diamond T Prime mover with a 16A-like flat-bed trailer at the WWII museum in Auburn, IN. Such a small toy but trust me, the real thing was enormous!!!
Yes, it is a beauty and hard to know the scale of this model in the 1-75 series without comparisons such as Greg's photo.
Gotta love the nicely applied silver "hand-trim" from the factory in the early days!
Great photos Jim and Roland!!
Very nice model Jim, like a new one. It seems that the colour of your 15a Prime Mover is dark (or butterscotch) yellow. Please compare it with 11a ERF Road Tanker. I have mentioned it here yet, that I think that there is a colour variation by yellow 15a similar to colour variation like by 11a, light yellow and dark yellow.

I have tried to compare the colours of the 15a and 11a. I thought that the colour of my darker 15a Prime Mover is closer to the colour of dark (or butterscotch) yellow 11a ERF Tanker. When I have made a photo I have discovered my mistake. The colour of the dark yellow 15a is closer to standard yellow 11a ERF Tanker. The butterscotch Tanker is much more darker, and my lighter yellow Prime Mover is closer in its colour to 6a Quarry Truck. Sorry for confusion. Please compare your 15a to 11a ERF Tanker and 6a Quarry Truck.
Nice comparison shots Antonin. In the hand, my 15a is a little darker than yellow tanker, it is closer to the butterscotch but still not quite a match, but shades do vary so much
