Those firefighters are real muscle men

Now this could be another challenge, who can make their own custom build Red Muscle Giant make believe come true.

Oké, not the best of pictures but i got them from trucknet.co.uk. I all placed them on my computer. I tried to convert them to 800x600 but not everything worked.

Oh ! I'd really like to see the real tri-deck. I've never seen this one before.

Could you please a little larger picture of this ? Thanks.

I have a few pictrues of Tridecks but what ever i tried, this is the only one that wants to be uploaded. I will have another try out wit other measurements. Yes, got it. But, with a Scania. You can see clearly that corgi made a fabulous model of it. Every detail is correct.

Cheers, Ron

Marvelous ! It's a great pleasure to see that trailer.

These years I discover and learn about trucks and cars through scale models. I first have a model and then look for the real one.

Should we start another thread for those that aren't Dinky or are we happy with them here ?

I don't know, but we leave it to the Moderators and the TC member who initiated this particular forum off in the first place. It is good to stick to the actual title which states Dinky Toys and is listed within that group. But good idea to start another forum for Corgi as I am running out of Dinky.

Some more pictures of Dinky's and their originals ; the mini was easy because I own them both, 























and some Citroëns






















and Austin and Vauxhall

  



Although I did not start this thread, I think it is a good idea to start a new forum/thread for Corgi and Matchbox too. They are, in my opinion the 3 brands that had the most influence on collectors, But that is only my opinion

I really enjoy looking at the real world protoptypes and their scale models.

And another Citroën

And a couple more Citroens.
