Ooops, that was a local alias I cut and pasted by mistake. The correct
address is:

and this one should be:

No worries, it will add a bit of realism :-)

Aye, I have seen this too, in fact I made a comment about it in the first
picture caption in the Skip Loading section, although the skip in question
does have wheels in this case. You can do this with the model as well; in
fact many people when first having a go with the model truck think that this
is the "proper" way to do it.

Interesting! The one I based the model on never seemed to do this; I wonder
if they were just behaving themselves loadwise since they were working in
the city centre and there was a higher risk of being caught overloaded? ;-)
