Have 8 variations of these models but today found a new one, when it went from no base to a based model, they altered the casting.

Here is the two different fronts of the models, completely different casings. This is not listed by Nick Variations Guide.

Hi George, never seen that casting before, was it a first casting or a later one. Pete

I can’t understand why Nick wasn’t aware of this casting when he drew up his variation tables, very strange.

Did Stannard note it?

I'm sorry, but I'm not getting the point.
37a and 37b are two totally different castings at all - or am I missing something here?

I think I agree with Kay. Unless I’m missing something, it’s just the 37a and 37b (though very nice examples!). Here is my picture of the two models together with the similar Benbros version.

Good point Kay and Glenn, that is a very likely explanation. Thanks for keeping the Superfast guy right :oops:

Yes, Nick does indeed note the fact that the 37b is an entirely new/different casting.
