well i dont have too much time in the day left. but you obviously have 2 releases @ minimum! therefore, they get mixed & matched. i like to use the term "mish mashed".
there r several cues here. obviously the packaging. the box so 2 speak. the older model has the yellow goinig from left 2 right.
2nd: the interior packaging will have the linear & perforated lines.
with that said.
u have the breakdown crane... a tell tale givaway. fist gen cranes will almost always have a distorted hook. no need 2 look at the date @ the bottom.
2nd) the cargo cars..a much duller green.
but 1 of the more finer details... underneath the coach will be a sticker. a date or manufacture.. only w/ first gen. only if ur lucky.
thts wht i know. however there may b more.
have to cross reference all pieces.
but u said something about the truck? sc ruffy? perhaps?
i have a few tht r brown & a few tht r grey. which is first gen?
r there any dates? on the bottom of the engines? usually there r several dates due to "upgrades" so to speak. with wht u hve opened... any variation in yrs of manufacture?
the newest most recent only need apply
