Very nice Dave,
and very rare.I have seen it before on a picture,
not in reality.The 152a with rubber wheels I have not even seen on a picture,
but it must be out there ! Rob
Some variations on the 40f Hillman Minx.The most difficult to find is the blue hub version.It has small letters on the baseplate
and came
from
a trade box,
but it can be found on a dual numbered inividual box as well.The tan 40f also came with brown
and cream hubs,
but I did not picture them.Does anyone have other wheel variations on the 40f ? Rob [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / 40f_Hillman_2_Forum.jpg [/img]
Hi Rob The tractor was on e - bay
and not described properly so I think there were only about five bidders.Here is an image of the 152a Light Tank with wheels: [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / 152a_Wheels.jpg [/img] This is scanned
from
the July / August 1999 ' Binns Road Gazette ' by Keith Harvie.Keith states the following: ' 152a Light Tank with rubber replacement wheels instead of tracks.Possibly due to the unavailability of tracks
or shortages in materials closer to the war.Some Light Tanks can be found with the wheels
from
the 35 series cars.No documentation to verify this replacement procedure has been found.In 30 years,
I have never met anybody who bought one in a store.' I am on a mission to find one of these as it is the only significant gap in my military collection.Dave
Here are the green Jaguar XK 120.Does some members know an other variation in this colour ? [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / Jaguar_XK_120_3.jpg [/img] Kind regards Richard
Here are the uncommon hub variations for the cream
and green US issues of the 282 Duple Roadmaster Coach,
red
and green.Of course the usual issue has cream hubs as shown in the bottom photograph.[img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / 2820942_800x622.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / 2820970_800x604.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / 2820894_800x615.jpg [/img]
Hi Rob,
Lovely 40 Series variations,
probably my favourite Dinky series,
the Blue hubs Hillman is lovely ! Hi Bruce,
Red hubs on the Leyland still escapes me,
been on the wants list for years ! Anybody got a BOAC coach with spun hubs BTW ? Chris Warr.
Hello Chris,
Here is the BOAC Coach with spun hubs.Rob [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / Boac_Coach_Spun_Forum.jpg [/img]
You never cease to amaze me Rob ! I reckon you have a time machine picking these up in such good condition ! I knew these were out there,
but had never seen one,
thanks for posting ! Chris Warr.
I echo your comments Chris ! Now Rob,
how about a 255 Mersey Tunnel Police Van with spun hubs ? I know they are out there,
but have only seen one,
so I expect this to be two ! Bruce

it is smooth on earlier production.
