Journal article on the Coles 20-Ton Lorry Mounted Crane

Jan--I just wanted to share my thanks to you for the very nicely done article about the classic Supertoys Lorry Mounted Crane. As is your custom, superb photographs of the different versions, along with details, and an interesting text discussing the long history of this wonderful model, and its evolution through the years. I was an early recipient of this myself, getting mine as a gift from my dear grandmother in 1956, and I had lots of fun lifting objects off of the floor from the table top above; what play value it had!
Best regards, Terry

Hi Terry, thanks for your thanks. You know, as my Dinky Toys catalogue is up-to-date again (since many years) it is rather easy for me to compile these articles. I have an 'endless' number available now for possible publishing. I have to adapt, edit and translate my catalogue entries a little bit and complete it is. 

I may show something of my recently completed 2010-2015 supplement in a suitable thread one of these days.

I was surprised to conclude that the January issue had almost 2/3 NL-contents as the authors is concerned. That must be a stimulus for British and other authors to rise!

By the way, quite a few excellent DTCA members' articles have been published in recent issues of MC, especially by Jacques, Dave Busfield and Michael Driver! Good publicity!

Kind regards, Jan

A nice Coles Advert showing the real world Coles Ranger Lorry Mounted crane.

One of the best Dinky Toys of all time.
