Model Dumper

[Johnson Dumper]

Hello,
I have the tin dumper model twice. Both models from England (ebay UK).

I always liked the Britains dumper ( was it a Winget ?) as it tipped by the handle and steered with the wheel, mine came with a load of plastic bricks . Problem was it was so out of scale with my Construction fleet of (secondhand) Corgis , Dinkys and Matchbox King Size all hand painted yellow and sign written with my name !
It would have been nice to build up a fleet of Britains Construction stuff which I gazed longingly at in the local toy shop but no way could I afford it .I fancied the JCB 7 , Shawnee Poole Dump outfit and a MF135 tractor loader with tipping trailer for starters !

I filled all my Corgi/Dinky tippers once with coffee as a load and this took in the damp of the room and turned into a glutinous mess which I never removed but could pass for tarmac . I assume coffee was cheap then !
