Post by kerbside »

4a Massey Harris Tractor, issued 1954, length 40mm, box types A and B.
4b Massey Harris Tractor, issued 1957, length 40mm, box type B,
4c Triumph T110, issued 1960, length 54mm, box types B-C and D.
4d Dodge Stake Truck, issued 1966, length 74mm, box types E and F.

Image
The 4a has mudguards over the rear wheels, with Lesney or England on them these can be in any combination.

Image
The 4b the mudguards have been deleted now and the metal wheels are different to the 4a model.

Image
The 4b with gpw this model also comes with two different casting of the driver mainly due to infil.

Image

Image
4c has two different wheel treads 1st one is 16.5 x 36 treads, the 2nd is 16.5 x 72 treads.

Image
The model on the right shows the exhaust is cast on to the frame of the bike, (unlisted) casting variation only small but still a variation.

Image
The different casting showing the way the mudguard is attached to the body of the side car, notice the rear tail light abit different shape.

Image
A Dark Green and a Lighter Green plastic containers.

Image
On the one with a tow guide the lettering is smaller.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
