2 x 002 straight track, 1 x 005 shovel, 12 x 009 curved track, 1 x 020 coal bag and plastic tub, 1 x 511 side tipper, 1 x 1500 E Steam loco and 1 x 1502 battery tender.
this "new" receives box makes a  box now makes.
This "old" box that I have now preserved makes me a little confused - I had previously assumed that this cover picture was only used until 1953 - but this set could only have been available from 1956 onwards. So I re-wrote the "box story".
 
from the FCW catalogue 1956 1956

FCW offered this set between 1958 und 1959 in this constellation - possibly just a misunderstanding of the word "tipper" - because they didn't use numbering.
