GENERAL INFO

The 6A Quarry Truck is one of the seven models to have been released in the A type box. The blurry drawing shows the model in yellow with black tires and red hubs and small numbers. A Very similar box was then used for the first B type package. The background may appear a little darker. There is only one B1 sub type box. The same picture would be used also for the first B2 box, soon replaced by a new depiction of the model shower a clearer drawing, somewhat bigger than the previous one, with larger black wheels, still with red bubs. The model numbers are larger also. A new drawing of the truck, with red cab and yellow dump, with hubs now in yellow, was used later on.

Finally, a smaller model was shown, although it looks longer in proportion. It’s fully yellow, except for the hubs which are making a come back in red color. Model numbers are again smaller, but the “N” is larger. It was also made in size 2.

RARITY

The A box is the less common of the 6A’ boxes. As for B boxes, it is quite hard to tell which one is less seen than others. The last box in size 2 may be a bit harder to find.
