Thanks mate, I have looked at it. But I am still a little bit confused about Type 3, I am not sure if any of mine are Type 3
It certainly looks like it.I have changed the first cardback now to a type 3 cardback. Can any of you confirm it ?![]()
Maybe I did it wrong the ones I think are type 1 are type 3 and the one I think are type 3 are a type 1 cardback. He write type 3 have punch styleIt certainly looks like it.
Is the card thicker than the others?
I am unsure about it is thicker or just the same, I can try to check it again when I come home later todayIt certainly looks like it.
Is the card thicker than the others?
Yes mate, I would say you have Types 1 and 3 crossed. Type 1 would either have a punch tab present or perforated remains of the tab and Type 3 will be the clean factory punched hole with no perfortions or tab presentMaybe I did it wrong the ones I think are type 1 are type 3 and the one I think are type 3 are a type 1 cardback. He write type 3 have punch style![]()
Thanks I have now changed them to what I think they are the first one are now type 1, but funny it feels thicker and stronger than type 3 and trilogoinfo write type 3 should be thicker than type 1Yes mate, I would say you have Types 1 and 3 crossed.

In order of the pictures you posted, my thoughts are:
First picture: Type 1 / 70B (perforated punch, copyright text not in racetrack)
Next 2 pictures: Type 3 [70B variant] (clean factory punch with no perforations, copyright text not in racetrack)
Last 2 pictures: Type 2 / 70C (slim elongated punch on the card in the first picture and the second picture we can see the copyright text is in the racetrack)

Ok thanks for the helpAll bubbles look to have been standard square flange plate judging by the rip patterns / remnants in the pictures so I would say all Palitoy. Meccano have a different bubble type![]()
I forgot to ask Type 1 and 3 are from palitoy as I understand it from trilogo info, but I can't see any info about where Type 2 are from ?All bubbles look to have been standard square flange plate judging by the rip patterns / remnants in the pictures so I would say all Palitoy.

did you see my last post ?All bubbles look to have been standard square flange plate judging by the rip patterns / remnants in the pictures so I would say all Palitoy. Meccano have a different bubble type![]()
ok thanksI think there are a few 70c with Meccano bubbles out there but not a lot. I think most of the 70c are standard square edged TriLogo bubble and slim punch tab like yours that may have been assembled via other European distributers not just Palitoy but I would say Palitoy is a fairly safe bet for those as well as your others![]()
