As far as I know this is the only truck I've seen for Estes Express made by 1st Gear. I think Winross produced one long time ago. But since I'm not into does I won't be getting it. My dad worked for estes. They release a new model every year around christmas and go back and fourth between a 53' and doubles |

You should post a pic of the Overnite Triples, I posted a pic of mine a while ago but it's always nice to see somebody else's collection. And that set up is a nice one, on my top 20 list for sure.

Nice looking model, you probably have found out that DCP offers the best detail, and are worth buying. Once you buy a DCP, you just get addicted.

The Overnite looks good, it would look better if they had Operated by UPS freight like the real trucks.  still an awesome truck and I'm glad I have it in my collection. As far as getting Addicted, tell me about it!!! ;D Yes DCP beats the rest, imho. Their detail is amazing and in 1/64 scale is the way to go. Not too big and not too small. I know some trucks are not 100% accurate but we already talked about some of the reasons why. |

Tonkins detail level is unsurpassed by anyone for the price. Sure you can go with Sword if you wanna drop loads of money on something just as detailed. TWH are ungoddly detailled but stupid expensive. All I am saying is for the price Tonkin is unmatched. |

TWH are ungoddly detailled but stupid expensive. All I am saying is for the price Tonkin is unmatched. The scaling on Tonkin's parts are way off, their problem is that they try way to hard to keep up with cab detail and don't spend a lot of attention to exterior pieces. Every Tonkin I have has problems with the wheels, and stacks, the produce too quickly and try and throw models out as fast as possible. The quality of a DCP in my opinion is way better and don't take up as much space. Dcp as proven that they can produce a 1/50 scale model as detailed and as fair priced as a Tonkin. It really all boils down to whether you want to have cab details or not. |

wow! do they have any older modles of etes trucks? or any older copanies. They have one older model that i have, its their first truck. All of the trucks i have, i got new, and are only offered to their drivers. I have them because my dad drives for them. That model looks almost exactly like my dads truck, exept his is a single screw without the extenders. But the only older model i know of is of their first truck. They also have a strait truck. @dom, i havnt seen any doubles yet, i have two 53's, one 1/64 and the other like 1/25 or something. I have the straight truck, and i have the first truck. I also have the monopoly set, multiple hats, and a belt buckle. Ive been wanting them to release one of their sleeper trucks with pups, maybe an Estes, GI combo.. Also, that Freymiller truck a few pages back, i wish DCP would make a Freymiller truck, but i dont think, as far as i know, they dont really care to have another one made. The black 379 my grandpa has for them is still one of the best trucks anyone in my family has had... |

Those are some nice Tonkins! I'm a 1/64th guy but I might have to buy a Tonkin in 1/53rd scale. I just received this new released KW900 Day cab with a Lowboy made for my favorite company Western Dist. This truck is bad a$$!!!! I'll post better pics later. I'm busy and running around everywhere trying to get everything ready for my son's 1st B-Day party tomorrow.  |

Im like a little kid in a candy store. Got my 2 newest today. Both Tonkin 1/53    That blue one is nice. As I said before, I like Tonkin but they are waaay to fragile for my taste, I have Ride if Pride 2008 and it is nice and the CFI T600, but the parts are so fragile and the wheels end up not rolling. Datrucking: I am waning that KW very much. I have been wanting to get some Western models, but they are so hard to come by. |

Thanks Alex!! I finally had a chance to take better pics of the Western truck. I like this truck a lot. I think it's because of the blue fenders on the axle instead of the chrome ones. Here it is!   Lonestar, you better hurry up and get one. The people at Extreme custom toys, who made this run possible, already sold out of their supply of these trucks. If you miss out now then it's going to tougher to get and more $$$$ expensive to get. |
