Euclid Dump Truck - 6c (3 Axle) |
|
| These trucks must be forty years old at least,
they are from my own childhood toy box. The interesting paint
job comes from my electric train layout days. I decided to have two
trucking companies one was metallic blue, the other was green and so my
Matchbox lorries all got a coat of paint, need it or not. I must have
been very bored. This is a very well modelled item and in reasonable
condition under the daubs, could be worth tidying up. The wheels are different on these two models. The one on the left has normal black regular wheels, the one on the right has specially moulded wheels, the normal wheels version is seen as marginally more desirable. The only variation which drives value is the plastic hydrosleeve which holds the tipper back in place, trucks with a white hydrosleeve are hard to find and consequently priced more highly than those with a black one. There were two previous quarry dumpers at No.6, this is 6c. The first one, 6a has an orange cab and a grey dump, 6b is also a Euclid but has only two axles. 6c was made from 1963 to 1968. |
