Can't tell the difference on some ... what is the difference between 12 and 12 (13?)

12 to 16 all the look the same in the pictures, I am sure they are not!

Some of the differences are in the axle cover (reversed) or windows & grill. Others the trailer color, which can be found in various shades of orange from light orange to deep bright. Group pictures #2 & #3 are best to see the significant shade of the orange colored trailer. Please note - variations #15 & #16 have type b trailer with modified rear ramp. I shot the pictures at a rather fast pace as I had limited time. The weather wasn't ideal either. I edited #13 as it was listed in error. Thanks for pointing that out.

It can be difficult showing shades of a colour through electronic media. I was confident Charlie had in fact posted models not all identical...

My favourite Kingsize (until I decide on another...) and an excellent collection. May I suggest a suitable diorama? Brexit port traffic jam chaos

That is NOT an invitation to start a discussion on the pros/cons of Brexit!
