One headlamp; mounted on the left wheel cover is a lozenge shape of wood painted green with the 'lamp' itself a large metal stud. The right headlamp is missing. The steering wheel is a disc of wood painted red. The dumper at the back is wood with a hardboard bottom; painted red. It is mounted on a wooden pivot which allows it to be raised by pressing down a metal lever on the right side behind the cab. The end of the lever is covered by a ball of wood; painted yellow; and the lever extends under the dumper to form a hook shape. The whole is mounted on four wheels of wood painted green with metal axles.
