Dinky made many Esso models over the years, so here is a small assembly making for a nice combination of Esso vehicles; the Panhard Tanker, the French Ford Tanker, and the Trojan van. Best regards, Terry

Jan---What lovely and important additions you have made this past year, and such an interesting variety of Dinky models, covering a broad range. I am sure you must be very happy with such great additions to your collection. Best regards, Terry

Richard Yes, you have all the combinations - except for one additional 257 Canadian Fire Chief's Car! Here it is: Normal casting except for its wheels. Cast silver, identical to that used for the Porsche in red and AC Aceca in brown and cream, 405 Universal Jeep plus the 259 Fire Engine. Most 257 with cast silver hubs that have been sighted in recent years have been shod with white tyres. Bruce

Dave Just noticed your 257 Fire Chief's Car above. With its white tyres, are the hubs spun hubs or the uncommon silver cast hubs? Regards Bruce (150) 6 January 2016 #747

Hello Bruce Looking at them closely I believe they are silver cast. This is the image for January on my 2016 Calendar. Dave

Dave I thought so! You have a very uncommon example and top marks to you. Two images of my 257 with cast silver hubs are below. The model arrived late last year, and the box, appropriate for this model has been in my collection since 2004 - just waiting for this model!! Kind regards Bruce (150) 7 January 2016 #749

Dear Jan, Many thanks for posting these nice sets of French Dinky but it is not allowed to reverse a tank on the carrier. One can only get on forward.All the best.Jacques
