Matchbox 16c; Scammell Snow-Plough
The Scammell (Highwayman?)
Snowplough was produced from 1963 to 1969. It is always grey with an
orange tipper body and the plough has either a red & white or orange &
white striped transfer. Grey plastic wheels are the preferred version,
it is also found with black plastic wheels, with or without a hole in
the base, no idea why and cannot find any explanation. These holes are
often about getting castings off the dies but it does not seem to be the
case here. One other variation is that some have the steps up to the cab
pierced right through the casting and sometimes they are blanked off. |
