the other green Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Bill, as far as the picture of the forage harvester with the inappropiate trailer goes, for a while, wasn't that the only trailer available? I have a (very) vague recollection of the blue and white silge trailer coming out and I think it was after the forage harvester was already out. Do you know anything about the order of release? Not gonna argue though, its a pretty goofy looking picture. Bet it sold a bunch of trailers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Adam that one in the picture was a early packing case type of two wheeled trailer excluding high sides which for silage purposes would have been as much use as a chocolate fire guard ;D. That small trailer No 9550 was released in 1962 for 6 & 6 pence. I do recall the blue trailer with white bits but I don't have one. I'll check back my records to see when it was released since that one still eludes my collection. They did another silage trailer from 1988 to 2005 No 9566 the Class tipping silage trailer in lime green and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 That high sided blue and white and brown coloured chassis ( same as muledozer or forage harvester colour) was out in 1978 and I think was still available for sale per the 1984 catalogue.

BC Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Bill, Was a bit earlier for the High Sided Tipping Trailer , 73 or 74 , I remember getting 2 of them , in London in a toyshop near my grans Thanks for clarification Iain. I was going on the first catalogue I have and it was shown in 1978. The "new" symbol must have related to the model above it. Do you still have those and boxed per chance ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just a wee bit of a twitter Iain... ;D... however glad you have managed to save one. I still need to get a boxed one for my collection ... some day I'll stumble on one no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_leadhead Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've still got my high sided tipping trailer and box, it's over my parents I'll dig it out for a pic sometime if you like. Collection is gradually gonna be ferried over here but space is a problem at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall just have to keep on collecting. Mine include all the most recent ones of the past four years too but I really do prefer the older ones.
