Dinky 30m / 414 Dodge Rear Tipping Wagon

 

Model #1

As Bought:

Obviously in very poor condition - repainted at some time, no tyres, bent axles - one with string knotted around it and the baseplate rusty. The lifting mechanism was in good order though.

 

Restored:

Now that it is finished i'm not sure about the colours - it seemed like a good idea at the time but I think I prefer the original orange/green or grey/blue.
Maybe I should strip it and start again.

What do you think?

Model #2

As Bought:

(right maroon)Missing rear and all tyres. It is also badly chipped.

Restored:

A 25 series rear was attached to this chassis to create a code 3 model.

 

Model #3

As Bought:

Missing all tyres. It is also badly repainted and chipped.

Restored:

Repainted in red and brown. A new tilt support was made and a new rear gate fitted.
