Hi Leslie welcome to CMN it would help fellow members to identify your dumper if you could post a photograph of it, thank you.

Hi jeremy, thanks for your advice thought i had uploaded pics,

Lesley the best way that I find to upload is to add one photo at a time; click the browse button and then find the first picture that you want to post, click on it and then then click the upload the file button, then just repeat the process for the other pictures before finally clicking the submit button.
Please note that very large file sizes may not upload so try and resize them if possible, hope that helps.

It looks to be a Thwaites 15 cwt dumper either a Nimline or a Nimbus model as they made 2 models in that range I seem to recollect when we had the agency.The next one up was the Orion model at 22cwt.and then the Tusker at 30cwt which had option to fit the "digga-dumpa" excavator attachment.

The skip chains (if original) look heavier than a nimbus and the rear axle is 5 stud. I think it may be an Orion?? The Nimbus we had was single cyl, left hand drive and 3 stud steering axle.
