I found the March 1955 Tudor Rose leaflet sorting other stuff over the last few days, paperwork; don't yah just hate it? And it has the farm set! Which (previous Post) is about six Posts down this page.
No wonder the animals have been coming in so slowly and so few at-a-time, allowing for losses and damage, you need to find the remains of a lot of sets to find all the animals in all the possible colours, although it's starting to look like the fencing was only ever manufactured in brown.
The wagon is a version of the nodding-horse wagons, popular at the time, but instead of the cam-wheel under the horses, a more complicated arrangement of sliding draw-bars seems to have been employed, presumably to get round someone else (Thomas/Acme, Dillon-Beck, Hardy?)'s patent/copyright?
