Thanks for the new variation data. Now I'll need to go and check mine!

BTW, add the gold version with smooth wheels to the variations.

Thanks Bill for the comment. I have to find the gold/white variation with smooth wheels (which is also mentioned in your fantastic book) somewhere in my spare models.

Mine has the single rivet. I was unaware that any Heralds had smooth wheels...presumably those are early production?

Could you please show some photo. I thought that the single rivet model was a late variation and therefore I would not assume smooth wheels by these models.
