Thats for when the snow flies and its cold out. My garage has minimal heat so most of the time that would normally be spent on the real units are spend fiddling with smaller ones. Paul

3000 Toys.com,

I guess I fit right in their with you guys!! I'm still lookin for the Matchbox Cooper-Jarrett Hendrx. doubles, also the Dodge Fruehauf double dump trailers. I have seen a few on line but they were parts trucks!!

I think I saw Cooper-Jarrett trucks at www.diecastdirect.com , but they weren't matchbox.
