Simple single piece casting in either pale green or pale blue with black and gold trim.

Earlier versions had a platform body with cast planking while later castings lost the planking, but gained low sides and carried a load of three red barrels cast as one piece.

The wheels are plain black or unpainted discs, with the rear wheels being slightly larger than the front ones.
