Charlie did very nice casting shows for variations to be found on Kingsize models but I am now looking for information about a Major Pack model.
Does any-one known if there are variations to be found on the Major Pack M4 Freuhauf Hopper Train GMC ?
Looking forward to see pictures !

I'm working away from home at the moment, but my guess would be that that there'll be something in both U.K. Matchbox and the NAMC catalogue.
I'll have a look for you over the weekend (if I remember!)

The NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (second edition) lists a single variation, namely "red wheels" (i.e. there are no variations).
The model was covered in U.K. Matchbox Vol 1, no. 5 (Jul. '77) p74, and again in Vol. 2, no. 12 (Dec. '79) p232. I am sending you scans of the two articles and will add the scans to this topic as images in due course.
