Mine can be seen in the left hand corner of this picture.
As father was a part time scrap dealer, wheels and axles were never a problem, those being ex Silver Cross Perambulator wheels.
There was an earlier version knocking bout somewhere too, hot rod style with small fronts and larger wheels. Made from a plank and a wooden box.
Unfortunately father also used to use it to bring a lot of the larger scrap into the back yard as the transit wouldnt fit down the alleyway, so it was often heavily loaded with car batteries, sacks of copper, gearboxes and the like. That was before the 4 wheel trailer under my RL body appeared. It got a rest from then on.
The yard is quite tidy there, usually it was piled high in scrap metal.
