German Tonkas in the static at late '90's displays were 45+15 of MFG2 in 1997 and 45+01,43+53 of Jbg34 in 1999.

Definately NOT British (no undernose chisels).

Definately NOT an ECR version (both cannons fitted).

Yes, I agree, it is an IDS, and probably German.

Simplified Noseleg too, so very probably German.

Thank you all for your help.
I found this pic on an old photobucket account. I have just had a look through a big pile of photographs and found a picture of me in front of 45 + 01.
So you have given me a date aswell. :clap: :clap:
All I have to do now is find the original photograph, it should be better quality. I was realy pleased with it at the time because it was taken with one of those drop in automatic film cameras, hand held and no cropping because I did not even know what it was.

Thanks again.
