That red and black Pete looks good but it would look better with an actual company name on the door, just my opinion. I'm not really into the O/O's runs. That Nepote looks clean too. On the curtainside trailer, does the curtain go all the way down? It looks to me like is just a couple millimeters short therefore you can see a gap. This is why I have stick with 1/64th scale Newest Western LoneStar. It has a new tooling for the visor, stack, and light bar in the back the back of the sleeper. They also added full fenders.    how many do you have!? I should be over 180 in a couple of days. datrucking, I bet you have the new J&R Hall Cascadia coming also!! Not yet but I do plan on adding it to my collection. I also found a set of the Western triples set and DCP # 31706. Those are the two I was missing to complete my DCP Western Distributing collection. I should have them in a couple of weeks. Here's the other release for Western, another LoneStar but with a white trailer.   |

Very nice LoneStar! Received one of 4 buses in the mail this morning. This time it is a Saf-t-Liner ER with a White roof to go with my yellow roof model.  Both ERs  ERs and HDX    You can tell, the only thing that has changed on the HDX model from the ER model is the front end, rear Thomas logo, and the window post color to match how it was first released in real life. |

And here's another TMC 379 with a flatbed.   So now I'm missing the very first TMC run which is a 379 with a tarped load, the good thing I already located one of those. I should have it in two weeks or so. And the 389 which I don't think Tyler will sell it to me unless I throw him an offer of $400  |

Around $50-$70 a piece he has a lot of money in those models.
LOL on the 389 Comment. $400 is a lot for one truck, I might consider it then. Lol. Hopefully one will pop up on eBay for ya, it seems as hard to find on there as my White roof Thomas ER was. I waited for a couple of years for one to pop up.

Yeah I'm waiting for another one to pop on eBay. The last one as you know sold for $325 so I have to be ready. My TMC fleet is growing though.  |

bigrigdriver, I think it's easy to say they back them one at a time. Unless you're a super trucker. Lol! I remember when we lived in Perris, CA and my dad had an account with Color Spot Nurseries in Fallbrook, CA. He would hook up to two pups full of flowers and he would drop them off in a yard in Phoenix. And then he would hook up to two empty pups and bring them back to Fallbrook. He never once had to back up with them pups. He would go around the back of the yard and drop the pups facing the exit. And when he would picked them up they were already facing the exit. Made it easy to just drop and hook. iceroad2. Thanks! I mostly get my trucks off ebay and two authorized dealers too. Btw..They do make tie down straps and chains for heavy haul trucks. Here are my straps and chains. Wish the straps were yellow like we see on the road all the time.   Hi..new member here...just wondering if you could suggest some places that sell accessories such as these tie downs, fender mirrors, etc? Thanks. |

Also, has anyone ever seen those CAT scales, lilke dat posted a picure of, for sale anywhere? I've searched Google and Ebay and have not seen anything. It's hard to do a search for "scales" because you get so many unrelated results. Thanks.

Here's another CR England truck, it's a Century with the Drive Life trailer.   And my England Fleet. I have all the DCP England's now except for the International Transtar that was made but I think I'll pass on that one.  |

Anyone looking for a Tonkin Marten Peterbilt 386 or Casscadia with 53' van? Marten company store has a pretty good deal on them if you don't mind 1/53..and I know some of you do. Anway, they're much more reasonable than the places I usually check. Just FYI.

Oh yeah; there is this place, stamp n toys less than an hour from my house, so I might make a trip over there soon  That's sweet! 3000toys is an hour from my house, I bet I could stop there if I wanted. haha. I've been wanting to get one of those RV models. They look nice! Jason- that Ford meter truck looks bad ass in person. I was like why it never crossed my mind in getting that one. I was planning on keeping it in my collection. Nah just kidding. Once you get your first one you can't stop. The RV better be nice for $100 shipped! Looked great in the photos, I always wanted a cool motorcoach, DCP brought that out and I had to have it. Notice how the gray one on Awesome Diecast sold out real quick. Tyler i hate to tell you this but you got scammed international store has those RV'S for 24.99 |

Ya, I seen that a couple weeks ago...I checked before I ordered, those were not on Internationals site, Awesome Diecast told me they weren't going to be made anymore...wow. Oh well, they are going for a high price on eBay so I will be able to get my money back someday.
