PeterMack Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So I totally overdid it with the toys this weekend. A friend found a couple for me plus there was a toy show this weekend.Found a Buddy L Mack that I had as a kid in near perfect shape, a K-Five Granite, Plote Exc AC Mack, a Top Shelf 1/64th4300 corn binder and a Siku Peterbilt produced for Grove cranes that came with an NZG Grove RT. Looks like I'm gonna haveto go to work tomorrow to pay for all this. Now I'm toy rich and money poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Mark if you buy a Beer or Coke truck with all of the roll up doors then you could display all of your models that way instead of just buying a piece of the truck.mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That's a pretty good idea Mike! just gotta' find the right truck!....................................................Mark 2 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You take that truck to the shows and I'm sure you would be a hit. That's right think big anybody can get a radiator shell. You could roll up the doors and show all of your models. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oldest surviving toy,and one of my most prized posessions! need to restore it to what it was like originally,just never seem to have the time anymore for anything!...............................Mark 2 Quote Mack Truck literate.

RFCDrum Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Next this DCP Kenworth is actually based on a truck in OZ. The Ertl Inter I have had since I was a kid. The second pic is the first DCP model I bought. Ertl John Deeres on the trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How about some military. First one is a dragon wagon with a captured German Elephant tank. Second is a Ertl 850 and a JCB Army backhoe.those JCB backhoes are weird machines, up armored ones are heavy as hell, like 32,000# they run fast and have a really long front boom, something like 60mph and have an ISB Cummins for power, I have pics on my other computer but its kinda not cooperating right now.

RFCDrum Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mark I remember Carretta's trucks as a kid since I'm from Paramus as well. Ryan some pics would be cool of those JCB;s. I only saw one once on a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 When I worked for Atlas Van Lines we had 8 brand new 1986 S-Series IH's (two for each branch office) 4 with roll-up doors and a liftgate,4 with barn doors, they were all the same specs. DT-466,7 speed Spicer direct trans. they were damn good trucks! Only thing I didn't like was the trans. real close ratio,very hard to get in/out of gear!.................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.
