vision386 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I collect em' have well over a thousand toy trucks (no kidding) and it is a good idea to list them either on your homeowners policy,or get seperate "collectable" insurance which is what i did. I've been collecting trucks since i was i kid,still have the very first Tonka i got for my first Christmas,although it is due for a restoration at some point if i ever get the time. First Gear makes some damn fine trucks! i have most variants of both Macks and Brockways,i am always on the lookout for anything Mack/truck related,second childhood i guess,but i really like them,especially the more "vintage" types ie: Winross,Corgi,Matchbox,Dinky etc. also have always collected trucking memorabilia in general too,old ads,brochures,belt buckles,etc...it's still amazing to me sometimes just what is still out there floating around!..................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

( http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/kitsparts.html ) Click on the underlined name for the image of the kit. They make alot of Mack and Brockway conversions. Dave Natali is generally at the ATHS and Mackungie shows with his kits. I go to a hobby shop that has a few DM600 kits in stock.

Vladislav Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The first picture shows two China-made "Signatures".Both are relatively good when looking from a distance.Has worthy made suspension and neither fire pumps, imitation only.There are also proportional mistakes as wind screen size and others.I'm thinking to rebuilt EH to a correct form one day and mayby convert it into EHU cabover tractor...But where is the time for ??Three R's at the second shot are German production Sicu of 70's-80's. A friend of mine bought them for my smile, he lives in Germany.The last one white R is Solido, has good condition because wasn't a toy but an advertizing souvenire.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25865-diecast-macks/#findComment-127303 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have a large collection as well. I have been collecting since I was a kid. I have attempted to pick up at least one affordable version of every Mack model replica made. I do not yet have any Smith-Millers, Swords, Smith, ASAM or Hubley. If I find one of them at a decent price I would certainly get one. I gave up hunting animals in the early '90's and turned to hunting trucks.Some of my favorites are the hard to come by models that i have acquired and the story behind the acquisition. For example, I was at a shop one day and we were talking about our hobbies, his interest was trains, I explained my interest as trucks. The next time I stopped in he directed me to a coal dust covered box on a shelf in the stairway. In the box was a Hess B-model tanker with the funnel. I left there that day with that truck... I bought them several kegs of beer over the next few months.I since have branched out into gathering other brands of truck toys, one of my most recent pieces is a Dinky McLean GMC Cannonball, I have looked high and low for one that with a decent price and finally found one.I have attached some pictures,---- now I have to go dust...

You are slacking! There are 4 U-models. The Lionel (red) a Hot Wheels (blue) and in the background (2) Hot Wheels in the box, (1) blue and (1) orange. (They are hard to see due to the glare on the plastic.)Just like hunting, be patient and the right ones will come along. Like I told you, if I see any at a decent price, you got one.Doug 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?
