Dumper Truck
Built by Richard Marsden in June 2025
This model was inspired by Dinky Toy № 962, the Muir-Hill dumper truck, another model I sent to the church jumble sale. Oh dear! Whoever wrote in 1 Corinthians 13:11 that “when I became a man I put away childish things” clearly never had a Dinky-Toy collection.
I was surprised to find that Muir-Hill still exist, after various receiverships and takeovers, albeit under a slightly different name. Although they built their last vehicles – large farm tractors – in about 1982, the current company supplies spares and offers restoration services.
