Quite a variety. 6 wheel "pressure refueller" is a Leyland Hippo aircraft refueller in RAF colours. Army truck with missing front axle is a Bedford QL 3 ton WW2 type. 1 ton army truck is a Humber. Both Bedford and Humber had an open back, removable tin top with front and sides to simulate a canvas top. Just flat metal folded to form front and side panels with a bottom lip stepped to fit inside the truck body. Front and sides were not quite 90 degree bent to give a little "spring" to help retain the tops. Hope this helps.
Nice haul, Timo! There are some toys with great potential in that lot....... good viewing ahead 👀 I'm not sure but that horse box came both as a single unit or in a pack with a Land Rover to pull it, i think....... Also not sure but, to my old eyes, thousands of miles distant and on a small screen, that flat-bed trailer might hook on to the 'kid painted' military truck..... Fun and games, anyhoo; Happy New Year, guv'nor.....be seeing you 👌🏻
Thanks for the tip Jack. I hadn't even thought about it. I was going to make that trailer into a bed for one of the truck chassis that is missing a bed. I may pretend you didn't tell me about it. On the other hand, it would be cool to do a complete toy, truck and trailer. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
Hi! You seemed surprised by what came out of the box from France. Did you not select these as you purchased? How many Taunus cars do you want? All those incomplete diecasts. Trucks, etc. I was just curious how this parcel originated. Do you ever go to antique malls or swap meets? Best, Stephen
They were mostly from 3 side view photos, so I couldn't always tell what they were. Every one was a Dinky though, and the guy managed to take a couple out of the box before sending it, so I'm not happy about that. Anyhow, the first one I did from that set will be out next weekend, and it turned out fantastic. I get to a few antique shops and second hand stores, but there are precious few suitable toys there. I have a lot to work with for the time being, but I will still keep up the hunt. There used to be toy swap meets in Toronto, but for some reason, I haven't even looked it up since the 80's. Better get on the ball. Cheers
Projects a plenty. Timo. Happy New year to you and the family. A good years work ahead by the looks of that lot. Cheers JV

By the way, there is a Land Rover in the lot.
Nice score cheers Michael
Thanks Michael. I have one of them lined up for next weekend. Cheers
