super6 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 As BC has a nice orange Dump Truck, here are a few more to seek out/wet his appetite. Introduced in 1968 for the princely sum of 7/6 or for us younger people 37.5 pence. As listed in the '68 consumer catalogue. The August '68 trade order form had the retail price up at 8/-. Deleted 21 years latter at the end of 1978 when it had a suggested retail price of £1.20. First up 9670 in the original sleeve and plinth box, in blue. It now has a driver Red version with the Tower Crane window box, complete with brick stick and road signs Green version, again with Tower Crane window box, with loose bricks and one and a half road signs! Metalic blue, no box Autoway Dump Truck 9810, fixed rear axle. Introduced in 1984 with the then all new Autoway series. Road Series 9919, (Sanderson) Winget Tipping Dump Truck, again fixed rear axle with a solid steering wheel. Compare the two castings above the rear wheel/s. The road Series one also has a tow hook and an eye to the rear of the skip. First available in the Autoway series in this shape as 9810, possibly with out eye, 1986 only, the last Autoway year. Soldiering on as 9578 in the Authentic Farm Models range from 1992, surviving to the end of 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 9919 a proposed Military range prototype as painted for Britains by Roy Dilley. I have provenance to prove this. The seller also had a partially completed roller 9912, when I made latter enquires about this it had gone to a Dutch man I think. This does not have the eye on the skip. The whole lot showing the different types of boxes. There are a few more versions for me to seek out yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with early type steering mechanism underneath, see next post Note early reg. plate for 1968, missing from front of skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Underneath of orange dumper showing the long steering arm to base of column and painted drag link connecting the two wheels with short wire link connecting the two. Note painted long spring on skip release. Compare with blue dumper, shorter steering arm but still with painted drag link and long wire link connecting the two. Steering wheel also has grips around circumference as orange version. Note unpainted long spring on skip release. Metalic blue with drag link the same grey colour as engine and running gear. Note now L reg so perhaps from 1973! Green with either a natural finish or silver grey to drag link, engine and running gear. Note short/fat unpainted spring on skip release.

MDFord Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Interesting to see all these little differences Paul. Out of interest, does the steering action work better or worse with the long steering arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Interesting to see all these little differences Paul. Out of interest, does the steering action work better or worse with the long steering arm I don't think it makes much difference Mark. Perhaps they were getting a lot of casting failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very interesting topic...since Paul decided to wet my appetite for more dumpers for my collection I have added two Autoway ones to my collection...one received today and one to receive but one has rear extensions wings bit one has not.
