Nice collection of Corgi Classics. Ron tell me this regarding the Corgi Super-haulers 1:64 scale does Corgi still produce these as I can only find the 1:50 scale in Model Collectors mag.

Edit: Rob. I had the wrong scale too late at night and should have typed 1:64 scale

Hi sorry I was called away by SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED,and of course I went anything for an easy life Ha Ha!

The Corgi Superhaulers you were asking about I believe are 1/64 scale, I have just checked Corgi online and they dont seem to list them anymore.

I have only started collecting in the last year so have a lot to learn and this seems to be a great site for doing just that.

Maybe someone else out there mite have a bit more info on the superhaulers.

I think Gunner was right on the super haulers being 1/76 scale. I have a couple of them here that are1/76 scale. The ones I have are Kenworth T 600s. Looks like I've got some more digging to do today.

You could be correct I pumped in Corgi superhaulers in the seach engine they seemed to be listed as 1/64 no doubt we will get to the bottom of it.

I'll have to go out and check the one's I have in the garage. They are still in the boxes, so maybe they have a scale listed. It could be possible that there are multiple scales in the line as well. It's been several months, possibly a year even since I worked with them.

I apologies to both of you, Ron and Rob, as I had typed in the wrong scale and it should have been 1:64 scale as on the box and not 1:76.

Too late at night and had a long day. The scale of these Super Haulers is suppose to be 1:64 scale. Corgi now seems to be concentrating on the 1:50 scale which enables them to include more detail.

I have changed the scale to what is should have been through Edit.

Cheers.

Is that a couple of Kiwi birds on the front or is it a pigeon or two icons on the Viewline cab.
