Both sets which contained this cab part came in two versions. First with the
3-brick-gap, later the 2-brick-gap. I think that was much more stable: kids
feet can be so cruel sometimes....

For both sets (4563 and 4551) there have been updated building instructions,
but I myself have only the older version as to be found at brickshelf also.

I have just uploaded two pictures, which show the differing cab parts:

Kind Regards,

BTW: Huw, if you have the scans at hand (or if it is not too much work), I
would be very pleased to get a copy of the differing steps. Thanks!
