GENERAL INFO
The third Road Roller came in late in the B type box era and was first released in a B3, size 3 box. The drawing is the same as the third B1 box used, except that the numbers look a tiny bit shorter. The image was designed for a size 2 box, so the blue rectangle completes it.
The second picture was used for both B4 and B5 and uses a similar drawing, however the picture is of course stretched to fit the size 3 box, and the model number are away from the model. “Diesel Road Roller” is written on end flaps.
The C box is a repeat of the B4/B5 box.
RARITY
There is no rarer box known for this model. The C box is most probably the most desired one.
