Site Dumpers

[Squid]

If this is not the right home for this particular topic, the moderating team may feel free to find it a more proper home.

A recent thread here and my fondness for my K2A have inspired me to collect site dumpers. Per the aforementioned thread, I know of a few that I can seek out:

• Lesney 1-75 2A, 2B, and 2C
  Dinky 562/962
  Condon
  Britains "Deetail"
  Charbens No. 21

Can anyone add to that list, especially in cases of models that wouldn't be overly difficult to find in the States?

If you are staying with the smaller sizes you can add...
Matchbox #58 Faun Dump Truck.
Husky #16 Dumper/Dozer Truck.
Matchbox #26 Dumper Truck.

If you move into the larger (Kingsize types), you can add...
Benbros Qualitoy Muir Hill Dumper.
Corgi #403 Thwaites skip dumper.
NZG #244 building site dumper.

Then there is the bigger models from Nylint, Tonka etc, but suspect these are moving away from your initial dumper truck interest!

I should have specified that I am looking for small, single-seat dumpers, many of which have swiveling seats...essentially self-propelled wheelbarrows. The Corgi #403 (with a driver straight out of the 1970s!) and Benbros are exactly those sort of vehicles. I've also found pictures of a Corgi Juniors site dumper and a newer Corgi model of a Thwaites Alldrive, the latter being one that I'd want to keep in a display case.

As regards scale, the largest I'd want would be 1:32...or, if I'm really stretching my limits, 1:24. Though it would be large and not the right sort of vehicle, I'd like to have one of those big Tonka dumpers to claim a part of childhood I missed out on.

If you don't mind plastic, there is a small Tri-ang Minic dumper too.

Tri-Ang apparently produced a dumper with a clockwork motor. I need to do more research on them, but I wouldn't object too strongly to plastic.

And the Zettelmeyer made by Wiking in 1:87 scale.

There's also the lone star one

At 1:87, that's most certainly a tiny model...I'd imagine it's around the size of a Lesney 2A or 2B? That's also one I'd want to keep in a display case.

I havr much learning to do about Lone Star in general. Their dumper apparently came with a driver, and a Google image search did not turn up a photo depicting an example with its driver intact. Lone Stars, I imagine, are hard to find in the States (we typically associate "Lone Star" with Texas; there is also Lone Star beer and the goofy-looking International Lone Star semi-tractor).

Your post reminded me that somewhere a couple of dumpers are hiding. Found them:



Corgi Thwaites Dumper with driver!
