There is something peculiar on the assembly drawing of this Dinky. In the cartouche at the botom of the drawing one can read : 14 03 1952 job N 12 866 added and 29 04 1952 job N 12 866 deleted This is a short lived item, only 1 1/2 month but which is the part which has the number 12 866 ? it does not appear on the drawing. An other drawing states : '25 09 1952 sales N 25p added inside roof'. Has this been done ? are there any road rollers with 25p inside the roof ? These are more Dinky Toys mysteries.

I recently bought a promotional model of the aveling barford road roller. I already got one and was surprised to see that they had different shades of green. On these photo's i included the normal light and darker green version and the lime green version also. I hope to find the orange one sometime...

One might wonder why - by just adding these extra Aveling Barford transfers - this promotional was not issued as a slightly more attractive regular Dinky Toy as well. Apparently Aveling Barford was not prepared to sponsor such an issue. Yes, and now for the orange one, good luck! Kind regards, Jan

Thanks, Jacques, for thinking of me. Indeed, a choice of many more to be posted by others. Remarkable picture, though. Note the Dinky Toys hubs and the (probably) contrasting colour for the mudguards. I expect to welcome my 13th example of this fire fighting icon one of these days. Kind regards, Jan

For the Avelng Barford, the first line reads 'Dinky Toys No. 25P Aveling-Barford Diesel Roller' and the second line reads 'The front roller can be set to steer in any direction.' For the Massey Harris the first line reads 'Dinky Toys No. 27A Massey-Harris Tractor' and the second line reads 'The front wheels of this model are adjustable for running to left or right.'

Jacques -- I do not know of any others with such labels, but I am no trade box expert. I only searched for additional images from Vectis following your intriguing question. Perhaps a member who collects trade boxes will chime in? i am surprised they went to the expense of these labels when trade boxes were not intended for the customer, and dealers should already know of the steering features from a catalogue ....
