As well as the lurvely tin snail, I found this recently but have no idea who made it? both sides have LEP Transport on them but no other markings anywhere. It measures approx 10" in length, and is all metal (bar the rubber wheels). Does anyone recognise the maker by chance???

Hi Rick, I don't know if it's relevant, but I have some old accessory lights here that were made by LEP in England....might be the same company as on the truck, I can photo the boxes if you want, cheers, Col.
