Sometimes it is very difficult to choose between wheels and tracks when you buy a piece of Earth moving equipment.

Take Jim for instance. He needs an excavator for a small construction project. What to get? Maybe we can help.

Jim what are you looking at? Jim said I am looking at the Komatsu PW180-11 wheeled excavator and the Komatsu PC210LC-11 tracked excavator. It seems to me that they could do my job. Only which one should I buy?

Each system provides certain features and performances. Moreover, each system has its strengths and weaknesses.

How would you like to own a SUV that could do 0 to 60 in 2.5 sec, do a ¼ mile in 9.9 sec., have a rating of 1,020 horsepower, have a top speed of 163 mph, and a cruising range of 340 miles?

Well, you can!! for a paltry sum of $121,990 dollars! Close in price to the of a top of the line Lincoln Navigator.

Oh, did I mention “eco-friendly”? Unlike the Lincoln Navigator.

The Tesla Model X is loaded with state of the art features such as: top hinged rear doors, two or three electric motors that provide on-demand all-wheel drive, performance-car acceleration, and many other features I will get to as this video unfolds.

The Tesla Model X is a crossover car. The X is a mid-size all-electric luxury SUV. Developed from the full-sized sedan platform of the Tesla Model S.

The prototype was unveiled at Tesla's design studios in Hawthorne, California on February 9, 2012. At that event, Tesla planned for deliveries to commence in early 2014.

In November 2013, Tesla issued an update about delays that said it expected to begin Model X Electric SUV production the second quarter of 2015 and deliveries began on September 29, 2015.

Other delays slowed production and deliveries of the Tesla Model X SUV, these delays were caused by design changes and improvements in the technology, batteries, and interiors.

I might add here that program upgrades continue for all Tesla cars whenever Tesla has a change or improvement that will benefit the owner of the vehicle. They are transmitted to the owner’s car by the cars cell phone.

Let’s look into the features of Tesla Model X SUV.

For centuries one and two wheel wheelbarrows were used to move personal property, construction materials, mining material etc.

Imagine, making a simple road cut and moving tons of dirt and rock with picks and shovels and wheelbarrows and carts to move the dirt and rock.

In the 21st Century we have heavy, off-road haul trucks that can move anywhere up to 500 tons of material.

Today I want to talk about the Caterpillar Construction Diecast Masters 1/64th scale construction model of the Cat 775E off highway dump truck. The 775E is one of a series of heavy haul trucks made by Caterpillar. It is an older truck which Caterpillar has replaced with the 775G heavy haul truck.

Heavy haul trucks have been divided into two classes. Both classes are rigid dump trucks. The regular class which are rated to carry up to 300 tons, and the Ultra class which can carry payloads in excess of 300 tons.

Most large size haul trucks employ two types of powertrains. The first is the conventional diesel engine and gear transmission. Caterpillar uses these on all their haul trucks. The other type is the Diesel-electric powertrains, using the Diesel engine to drive an AC alternator or DC generator that sends electric power to electric motors at each rear wheel.

An example of the regular class is the 775E CAT, a rigid dump truck specifically engineered for use in high-production small mining and quarrying operations, and heavy-duty construction projects. The 775 off highway dump truck was designed to efficiently move mountains of earth and rock.

Attention! Owner Operators!

Have a flatbed truck and looking for a load to haul? Try a third-party logistics provider, specializing in flatbed freight!

I am sure that all truckers that view my channel know about brokers and have differing opinions about them. But for the diecast semi trucks collectors that may not know about the freight brokerage system I want to give a brief explanation about them before I get to the owner operator Peterbilt 352 truck and Utility flatbed trailer product review in 1:64th Scale DCP by First Gear.

Flatbed trailers are selected when freight is not easily transported in an enclosed trailer due to its size or dimensions. Flatbed trailers allow for manual or crane loading and unloading from the top, back, and sides, making them a preferred choice for dimensionally challenged, time-sensitive deliveries or destinations without loading docks.

The Standard Oil Company has a long and colorful history. It began in 1863, John D Rockefeller, at the age of 24, joined with the Clark brothers and a chemist, Samuel Andrews, and started an oil refinery in Cleveland, Ohio. Within two years Rockefeller bought ought his partners and named the refinery “Standard Works”.

By 1870 Rockefeller and his brother William, along with Andrews, Henry Flagler, Oliver Burr Jennings and Stephen Harkness formed a new company, the Standard Oil Company in Ohio.

In his introduction to the abridged Norton’s edition of Tarbell’s The History of the Standard Oil Company, historian David Chalmers wrote:

“John D. Rockefeller and his associates did not build the Standard Oil Company in the broad rooms of Wall Street Banks and investment houses, water their stock and rig the market. They fought their way to control by rebate and drawback, bribe and blackmail, espionage and price cutting, and perhaps even more important, by ruthless, never slothful efficiency of organization and production.”

During the 1870s–1890s, Standard Oil absorbed many oil companies and established regional companies across the USA. In 1882, Rockefeller consolidated his dominance by transforming Standard Oil into a trust. Nine trustees managed the corporation on behalf of all shareholders. In 1885 the trust moved to New Jersey and opened another office in New York to manage overseas activities.

The court ordered break up of Standard Oil Company really began in 1890 when Senator John Sherman of Ohio initiated an anti-trust law in Congress:

Dump trucks have been around for several centuries. They range from simple dump carts to the first steam powered “tipper” to haul garbage, to the MEGA trucks used in open pit mines.

There are many shapes and sizes of dump trucks. But all of them have specialized uses.

This is a story of one of the many dump trucks/trailers and it usefulness in hauling material to construction sites.

It’s the “belly dump” or “bottom dump” truck and or trailers.

I said story because I could not find any info about Carl Walker Hauling out of Anchorage Alaska during the 60s. If someone out there knows anything about Carl Walker please let me know in the comments below. I would really appreciate any information that you could provide. Also please go on and join my YouTube family by subscribing!

To continue our story, the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake did considerable damage to Anchorage and surrounding countryside. In fact, the surface damage covered 185,000 square miles.

The same day the Good Friday quake hit Alaska my father charted a sailboat with a group of friends and sailed to Anacapa Island. The island is located in the Santa Barbara channel. They landed on the island and the sailboat departed. My father’s group spent the day and night on the island. Several members of the group noticed unusual tidal surges all Friday afternoon and commented that conditions were almost like tsunami conditions.

According to my father the group had a wonderful and restful, time exploring the island, a barbecue on the beach that night, and settled down for a peaceful night sleep.

During the night the tsunami hit the island around 4:30 am.

Kenworth, one of my favorite truck manufacturers, like so many other truck manufacturers came into being by someone buying or merging into another company.

Kenworth was no exception.

Gerlinger Motors of Portland, Oregon was a car and truck dealership owned by two brothers George T. Gerlinger and Louis Gerlinger Jr. The dealership was not enough for the Gerlinger brothers so in 1914 the brothers expanded into vehicle manufacturing.

The Gerlinger brothers began marketing a truck they named the “Gersix”. Their truck was powered by a inline six-cylinder engine. One of the first six-cylinder engines put in a truck. The truck was named the Gersix after the engine. The Gersix truck was framed in structural steel. The heavy-duty construction of the Gersix found itself in demand by loggers through the Northwest.

By 1916, Gerlinger Motors had outgrown its plant in Oregon. The plant was relocated to Tacoma, Washington.

The Gerling brothers leased a building from Edgar K. Worthington.

In 1917, Gerlinger Motors fell on hard times and filed for bankruptcy At that time Gerlinger was placed for sale.

E.K. Worthington saw a good deal, so he acquired the company with his business partner Captain Frederick Kent. They renamed the company the Gersix Motor Company.

In 1919 Harry Kent, his son, replaced Captain Kent, as a partner in the company on Sr. Kents retirement.

By 1922, Gersix Motor Company produced 53 trucks in its final year at its factory on Fairview Avenue at Valley Street.

By 1923, Gersix Motor Company had created a strong demand for the Gersix model line of trucks. With Gersix Motor Company success Gersix Motors was reincorporated as the Kenworth Motor Truck Company, thus, combining the names of partners Kent and Worthington.

The factory was once again relocated within Seattle to 506 Mercer Street and later to 1263 Mercer Street.

Wasn't that a colorful history, of how Kenworth came to be? Of course, that’s not the complete story. There are many more years of Kenworth history. But for now this will do.

Our story of Dodge’s Big Horn tractor must begin with the founding of Dodge automobile Company and the sale to Chrysler and Chrysler's exit from the heavy truck business.

Psst: You can buy a 64th scale model of a Dodge Big Horn tractor here: https://www.gltrucks.com/1973-dodge-cnt-950-big-horn-gold-with-red-stripes. I’ll talk more about it later on.

And please take a moment to subscribe and join my YouTube family to learn all about the best diecast models you need in your collection.

The story of Dodge's beginning began when Horace Dodge and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in Detroit in 1900, and quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city's growing number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the new Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A (1903–04) that included the complete chassis. Thus, Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars. Henry offered the Dodge brothers a 10% share in his new company in return for $10,000 worth of goods. That became one of the best deals Henry ever offered to any company.

Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan and obviously I’m not in Advantage Diecast’s warehouse today. I’m out to see a LPG storage tank farm.

Propane is a highly flammable gas and comes in steel cylinders or tanks. The movement of any propane cylinder or tank is fully regulated under the “Transportation of Dangerous Goods” (TDG) Regulations unless an exemption applies.

The use of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” as the shipping name implies, is intended for variety of liquid petroleum gases.

What is propane? How is it liquefied? And how is it transported?

I think it is important mention a little about LPG-PROPANE. Propane is not made or manufactured, it is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons. Propane has a boiling point of -42 degrees Centigrade.

In its liquid state it has a temperature of Negative 188 degrees Centigrade or Negative 306.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's really cold.

Propane expands to 270 times the volume when it goes from liquid to gas.

So, 1 Liter of liquid propane will expand to 270 Liters of gaseous propane.

That's really a lot of gas.

Further, in its gaseous state propane is heavier than air and will tend to hug the ground.

Propane is transported in a liquid state under strict regulations. Unlike natural gas, which is delivered via pipeline, propane is transported under pressure by tank car, tanker ship, transport truck and local delivery trucks better known as bobtails.

What’s up my 64th Gear Jammers? I’m Logan the founder of Advantage Diecast and I’m out here at this old gas station to talk about a Greenlight Building and the Pure Oil Company.

Also you can get many of the Greenlight Collectibles buildings on my website https://www.farmtoysandmore.com

Our story about the Pure Oil Company begins with its founding in 1914. Before that Three oil companies operating in the United States have used the Pure Oil name.

The first of the three companies began in the fall of 1895 as a group of independent oil refiners, producers, and pipeline operators.

Setting up in Butler, Pennsylvania, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, although it was incorporated in New Jersey.

The Pure company was organized by independent interests to counter to the dominance of Standard Oil Company in the Pennsylvania oil fields and was the second oil company (after Standard) in the region. Operations were based in Oil City, Pennsylvania. David Kirk was elected the first president. He was succeeded in 1896 by James W. Lee. Pure Oil sold illuminating oil in Philadelphia and New York City.

The second company: the Pure Oil Producing Co. was incorporated in 1902. In 1904 a refinery was built on the Delaware River which received 600 barrels per day from the United States Pipe Line. This increased to 1,800 barrels per day.

The third Pure company began when Beman Gates Dawes, his brothers, and partner Fletcher Heath whose Columbus-based Ohio Cities Gas Company which had begun in 1914 made an offer of $24.50 a share for the Pure Oil Producing Co. Dawes was building an Oklahoma refinery, and Pure Oil had production capabilities there which would benefit his company. The Pennsylvania company accepted the offer.

In 1920, Ohio Cities Gas Company's name changed to Pure Oil. In 1926, the headquarters moved to Chicago. Refineries were located in Ohio, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan Founder of Advantage Diecast, and I’ve got a vintage DG Productions model to review today after a bit of history on Swift Transportation. DG Productions made detailed 1:64th Scale diecast trucks in the days before Diecast Promotions made 1:64thscale trucks.

But first please make sure to subscribe and grab my report on Tips for valuing your collection with the link in the description below.

Thanks to all my subscribers. You guys are the best!

On October 10, 1966, a new truck line began. This trucking company was destined to become one of the largest truck lines in history.

Swift Transportation began operation by transporting imported steel from the port of Los Angeles to Arizona. On the turnaround they transported Arizona cotton to Southern California.

Founded by Jerry Moyes, the original company operated under the name of Common Market. The Swift name was purchased from the Swift Meat Packing Family later on and the truck line name was changed to Swift Transportation.

Jerry Moyes along with his father Carl Moyes, brother Ronald Moyes, and Randy Knight built Swift Transportation into a multi-million dollar business. When Jerry’s father Carl passed away, Jerry Moyes became the sole owner of Swift Transportation.

In last Thursday’s video I talked about the history of electric vehicles and reviewed models of Tesla cars. If you missed it is episode 5 and you can find it here https://youtu.be/G3w91fDCE7Y

In this video I am going to continue with the history of Tesla Inc. and review the Tesla Semi models made by Matchbox.

Founded in July 2003 as Tesla Motors, the company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

Elon Musk, who contributed most of the funding in the early days, has served as CEO since 2008. According to Musk, the purpose of Tesla is to help expedite the move to sustainable transport and energy obtained through electric vehicles and solar power.

I assume most of you are familiar with the Tesla cars, having seen one on the road or on YouTube.

However, we have only seen the Tesla Semi in pictures and on YouTube.

Maybe if you live in the Fremont California area you might have caught a glimpse of the red Tesla Semi running down the road with a flatbed loaded with concrete blocks. However, this unit is only for real world testing and not in commercial transport at the time of this video.

Of course, I am going to do a product review on the 1:64thScale truck by Neo Scale Models: 1960 Chevrolet Tilt-Cab Box Truck for A&P Supermarkets, but first I thought it would be interesting and different to talk about what the truck was hauling and a little about the company it was hauling for.

If you noticed the thumbnails the company logo was on the sides of the truck. The logo represented “The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company” or “A&P” for short. As many of you know A&P was the grocery company that was responsible for the modern supermarkets we shop in today.

The A&P story began way back in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Francis Gilman had a brilliant marketing plan for selling tea. Why not market tea using the mail. By using the mail to deliver the tea George and Francis could sell their tea at discount prices. Brilliant!

WOW!.... When I researched Tesla, I sort of fell down a rabbit hole. I thought this would be a single video about the Tesla Semi, but I soon realized that I had way too much interesting information.

So, I decided to do a two-part video series. The first part is about the history of electric vehicles up to the release of the Tesla Roadster. The second part is about Tesla Inc. and the Class 8 Tesla Semi.

John Deere 55 Combine Harvested Corn Long Before Modern Case IH Rotary Combines Ertl Replicates John Deere 55 Combine in 1:16th Scale

John Deere did not innovate the combine. John Deere was even late to the self-propelled combine era when the Model 55 first came out as Deere’s first production model. But John Deere didn’t disappoint with the 55 setting new standards in corn shelling. But before we get to the Model 55 we need to talk about who invented the combine & what a combine really is.

Hey guys, I heard the Coca-Cola Christmas Caravan is heading to Santa’s Village for a visit so I thought I’d run up to see if I could catch a glimpse the caravan and maybe see inside the trucks.

While I’m waiting for the trucks to arrive, I thought I would tell the story about how the Coke commercials began and moved from the small television screen to a real life caravan traveling throughout most countries in the world.

Here is the story of the most famous advertising campaign in advertising history.

The campaign burst onto the tv screens in 1995. Created by the ad agency W.B. Doner for a seasonal Coca-Cola campaign known initially as the 'Christmas Caravans'.

It started as an animated caravan of bright red lighted semi-trucks and trailers and evolved into a caravan of real semi-trucks. The trucks were painted bright red and adorned with bright lights, and murals of Santa Claus on the sides and the end combining Santa with Coca Cola logos. The idea was to have the caravan of trucks parading through small town America.

Hey everyone, I’m Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele, founder of Advantage Diecast.

We’ve been decorating the warehouse for Christmas so I thought it would be fun to talk about a building model instead of a truck today.

Greenlight has made some pretty cool buildings in 1:64th scale for our dioramas and I’ll talk about one shortly. Oh and I sell these buildings on my website https://www.farmtoysandmore.com along with other greenlight collectibles items.

Also, it would be awesome of you if you’d subscribe to my channel! You guys keep me making new videos every week!

On with the video with a little about Brock Racing Enterprises or BRE for short.

Peter Brock was a legend in the racing world long before he ever started racing started working with Datsuns. But it was with Datsun that he truly left his mark on the sport.

Hey guys, I’m Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele, the founder of Advantage Diecast and obviously I’m not in the Southside Warehouse today.

I’m early for my flight so I’ve got the entire TWA First Class Lounge all to myself for a little while. This works out great for me as I wanted to talk about a Jet Fuel Tanker and look, there it comes to fuel up that Boeing 707 sitting right outside.

Talk about great timing, the truck I want to talk about is pulling under the wing right now.

While I’m at the airport as I speak, I’ll bet that you have undoubtedly been to an airport or watched a movie and seen tank trucks parked under the wings of the big planes. And there hoses attached to the bottom of the wings. Of course, you know they are fueling the plane.

It’s interesting to watch, but I must move on because the other passengers will be arriving shortly.

America’s Favorite Brew

It first began in the 19th century. During the mid-1800’s German immigrants settled in St. Louis, they brought along with them an industry that would have a big impact on America. They introduced lager beer.

In 1843, a soap maker Eberhard Anheuser migrated to St. Louis Missouri. With no experience in brewing, he became part owner of the Bavarian, in 1860 he bought out investors in the brewery. He changed the name to Anheuser & Co.

Adolphus Busch arrived in the united states as an immigrant from Germany in 1857. By 1861 he met and married Lilly Anheuser. After serving in the union army during the Civil War. Adolphus Busch went to work in his father in-law’s brewery. Slowly, he brewed and built a brand name beer that would become the most iconic brand in the nation.

The introduction of lager beer to the United States by Adolphus Busch during the mid-19th century forever changed the landscape of brewing beer from small neighborhood breweries, to a large industry that it is today.

Budweiser was introduced to the united states in 1876, when the E. Anheuser Brewing Association of St. Louis, Missouri, introduced Budweiser Lager Beer.

The Curtainsider.

Specialty Trailers in the United States, Standard trailers in Europe.

Tautliner is the trade name of commercial vehicles built by Boalloy of Congleton, Cheshire, England.

The company patented the concept in 1969, and credits much of its popularity to its adoption by the haulier industry'

Today over 80% of Europe’s truck trailers are Tautliners.

America lagged behind Europe in developing and adopting tautliner or curtain side trailers by many years.

History of clean up people and garbage truck drivers.

1350 The Black Plaque: victims of the plaque were picked up in carts.

RAKERS were the first official garbage men. Their job was to rake up the trash into a cart. It was a dangerous and a filthy job. Rakers had a high mortality rate from illness.

Toy Talk with Logan Skeele

P.O. Box 508

Boom! What’s going on everyone

After a harrowing flight, you should have been there. It was really exciting. I finally got to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Fire Station 3, where I'm going to talk about one of their ladder trucks and the LA Fire Department.

Founded in 1781, Los Angeles began as a small pueblo under the auspices of the King of Spain and flourished as a farming and agricultural community. Buildings were constructed primarily of adobe and tile, but the storage of hay created hazardous conditions.

In response to fires, neighbors would rush to assist by forming "volunteer bucket brigades." These brigades, using leather buckets, worked until the fire was extinguished.

Did you ever wonder where and when the saying “Built like a Mack truck came from?” As you know Mack truck trademark is a bulldog. In 1917 during WWI, Mack trucks earned its nickname when the British government purchased 6000 Mack AC model trucks to supply its front line with troops, food and equipment. The British soldiers were so impressed by the Mack trucks they dubbed the trucks, “the Bulldog Mack.” Its pugnacious, blunt-nosed hood, coupled with its incredible durability, reminded the soldiers of the tenacious qualities of their country's mascot, the British Bulldog. So, it was only natural for British soldiers to name the American trucks, “the Bulldog Mack”.

But when did the Bulldog first appear as a hood ornament on every Mack truck built? In 1932 Mack's chief engineer Alfred Fellows Masury carved Mack's first bulldog hood ornament while recuperating from an operation. Masury applied for and receives a U.S. patent for his design; the bulldog hood ornament has adorned every Mack truck ever since.

In my last video I talked about the Boeing Gas Turbine/Jet Engine Powered Kenworth and West Coast Fast Freight. I bring this up because Watson Bros. Transportation, the subject of today’s Fallen Flag video, was a major partner of West Coast Fast Freight. To go along with the Mack Trucks fallen flag today, I’ve got a free checklist of the entire DCP by First Gear Fallen Flags Series. Grab your copy here https://bit.ly/Fallen-Flags. You can also purchase many of the Diecast Promotions Fallen Flags series on my website: http://www.farmtoysandmore.com

I also talked in my Ringsby Freight System video about the ICC or Interstate Commerce Commission and how they regulated the routes trucking companies could use.

Well West Coast Fast Freight wanted to expand their service to Chicago so they could serve their customers better. To do this, West Coast partnered with a company out of Omaha Nebraska called “Watson Bros. Transportation Company Incorporated”

The west coast has brought us some of the largest and most famous trucking companies. Pacific Intermountain Express comes to mind right off the bat. But many others were running on Highway 1 California like West Coast Fast Freight Inc.

West Coast Fast Freight was formed at the end of World War II. From a small beginning, it rapidly grew through acquisition, and dedicated service.

Innovation was another area West Coast used to stay ahead of the competition. One such experimental truck was built by Kenworth and powered by Boeing.

Mack Trucks, is there any more iconic east coast manufacturer?

I thought it’d be fun today to talk a little on Mack trucks of the 1960s.

Mack Trucks was in its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Course these two decades were tremendous with growth and expansion in America as we had put the men from WWII back to work here and the Space Race.

But many changes headed Mack’s way were to happen in the 1960s. Like the discontinuing of the famous B-Model.

A truck camper is any RV that can be carried on or in the bed of a pickup truck. The first type of RV is the Camper shell, the second is the slide-in camper. Especially in the 1960s, the slide in truck campers made up a substantial part of the RV market, but their popularity faded as other RVs emerged, especially conversion van-based Rvs. Those van-based Rvs soon took over the market. Van RV's offered more room and could be used for many other purposes. But the truck camper’s versatility remained unmatched as the slide in camper could be easily dismounted and leaving all the versatility of a conventional pickup truck.

I thought it might be fun and interesting to look at two Greenlight offerings of slide in campers, and the legendary pick up truck's that carried them. The 1967 Dodge Winnebago Camper and the 1968 Chevy C10 Silver Streak Camper. In each case I will first discuss the truck and then I will talk about the camper.

J.W. Ringsby better known as Bill founded Ringsby Freight System in 1928 with 1 truck, a REO Speedwagon. He first started hauling coal around Denver Colorado.

From these humble beginnings the line grew in scope and size. Much of the company’s growth was attributed to numerous acquisitions. The ICC or Interstate Commerce Commission regulations of the time made acquiring new territory very hard and expensive, so rather than go the hard route most carriers just purchased their competition to get into their territory.

At their peak, Ringsby operated 43 terminals in 26 states. And By 1981 the fleet had grown to over 6,000 trucks.

Little Audrey’s Transportation was started in the late 1940s. It was after the war and Refrigerated van trailers were just coming into their own and Little Audrey’s was one of the first to jump and focus on Refrigerated Freight.

This was a huge turning point in freight. Cold freight was no longer limited to distance between ice houses where the trailers would be iced down. And as you know with ice and warm temperatures it melts. Now in the winter with below freezing this wasn’t a problem, but the rest of the year it was a big big problem for moving cold loads and pretty much just forget moving frozen loads.

The founders at Little Audrey’s saw this as the future of trucking and incorporated their company in New Mexico but headquartered it in a tiny hole in the wall office in Fremont Nebraska. That little office only had a couple of dispatchers and office staff needed for sales and paperwork. Their office was just a converted 2 bedroom house on a big lot that was paved so trucks could pull in and park. I’ll bet the neighbors just loved that.

The legend goes, Little Audrey’s was named after one of the founder’s wives’ name. Probably some truth in that as not many trucking companies were named after women back in those days. There were a few, but not many.

Vintage trucks are the latest craze in the 64th scale truck market. Models of trucks from the 50s through the 90s are the rage and DCP by First Gear has released many of them in their fallen flags series. Grab a copy of the entire fallen flags series with the link in the description below. Also be sure to subscribe as I really appreciate each and every one of my YouTube family.

To go along with the DCP by First Gear Fallen Flags series, Tuff Trucks of Australia, that’s Simon Rogers’s company has produced several runs by DCP of vintage Australia company trucks. The latest release is a Kenworth for TNT Express Refrigerated Services.

While TNT is still operating, the old divisions have been either consolidated or sold off today, but back in the 70s and 80s TNT operated multiple divisions. One of which was TNT Express Refrigerated Services…

Freightliner Cascadias and Blank Utility trailers. Is there any better combination for making a custom fleet truck?

I know most of us truck collectors want the fancy show trucks. I get it, but really how many of those fancy show trucks do you ever see on the highways?

Fleet trucks really are the norm out there and our collections should reflect that.

I have made several custom trucks with these blanks. Like a custom of a friends Schneider tractor. Or a custom UpStage Lighting & Rigging truck for Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour. But what would you do with blank trucks?

Who was a fan of tv show Ice Road Truckers?

From the show we got several versions of Carlile Transportation trucks out of Anchorage Alaska. And those were the only trucks produced that were seen on camera.

However, they are not the only trucks with ties to the show to have models made.

A model of Maya Pyskaty’s custom restored Peterbilt 379 was produced by DCP by First Gear as the second release of the “Big Rigs” series. This was not a truck from the show, but Maya Pyskaty was featured in season 5 of the popular TV show. Giving this model a tie-in to the show. After her stint on the show she went back home to work in her family’s business “Pyskaty Bros.” in New Jersey. Here she spends most of the year on local hauls. She prefers over-the-road driving though in her custom show truck. A project truck that Pyskaty restored herself. It is a 1997 Peterbilt 379 name “34” after Maya’s lucky number. The truck features a custom-made wood floor from Germany, a three-stage frame paint job in Maya’s signature color purple and lots of stainless steel RoadWorks accessories.

Ron Kelsey started driving trucks in 1977. He purchased his first and only truck in August of 1984. The Peterbilt Model 359 became the only truck he would ever need and is still driving it today. In 1990, Ron had it painted in an orange and yellow paint scheme and it became the "Sunrise Express.”

By the mid-90s Ron Kelsey’s Sunrise Express received a major upgrade. Ron took out the BC400 Cummins Engine and replaced it with an 800 horsepower 3406E Caterpillar diesel.

14 years later and Ron had a shiny new coat of paint applied and the ghost flames joined the “Sunrise Express” paint scheme. As the years went by, Ron kept finding upgrades for the truck. In December of 2017, Ron wanted a longer wheelbase, so he had the frame stretched out to 301 inch. In 2018 Ron boosted the transmission from a 6-speed with 4-speed auxiliary to a 10-speed with a 4-speed auxiliary.

As it rolls down the highway today it has a 10 x 4 transmission, 336 Eaton rearends, and the CAT 3406E from 1994 for a drivetrain.

Ron has been customizing his ride for the past 35 years and it’s never gotten old.

Now to talk about the 1:64th scale truck replica. It is DCP by First Gear’s Big Rigs Series 1 “Ron Kelsey’s Sunrise Express”

Have you ever heard of International Transport Inc?

International Transport was based out of Rochester Minnesota and was comprised of owner-operators. Drivers were required to paint their trucks in the famous Yellow and Green paint scheme. Trucks traveled throughout the United States and Canada.

International Transport was another victim of the late 1970s deregulation. Schneider Transport bought them out and phased out the name and paint scheme.

Fitting for International Transport, Neo Scale Models to use a 1964 International Harvester DCOF-405 Emeryville to replicate one of the famous yellow and green International Transport trucks for today’s product review. The 1964 Emeryville is a 1:64th scale truck model.

Boom. What's going on everybody?

I am Logan, the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele and this is Toy Talk.

When you think of Peterbilt 351 do you think of the movie Duel? The original truck was a Peterbilt 281 but a 351 was used to make new scenes for the theatrical release. However, that isn’t the only movie that used a Pete 351.

Other movies included Waterworld, Shoot ‘Em Up, The Invaders, Chastity, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Road Movie, Breaker! Breaker!, Timber Tramps, and a few others.

The 351 was a fan favorite in the movies for years and probably will make more appearances in films in the future!

But this video isn’t about any of them. This video is a review of a neo scale models 1961 Peterbilt 351 day cab in blue with yellow stripes and yellow frame for Miller & Young Cargo Lines.

This, this is a 1961 Peterbilt 351 needle nose day cab tandem-axle tractor. 351s were dual drives. They were basically the same as the 281, but the 281, in a tandem configuration only had one drive axle and a tag axle. 351s had drive axles on both tandems.

I'm Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele, opening Advantage Diecast's Southside Warehouse doors on another episode of Toy Talk.

I’m going to talk about some great diecast models from the movie Ghostbusters alittle later on so stay tuned!

I’m betting that most of you have seen Ghostbusters before and probably like a good ghost story from time to time. Bedsides toys I like to explore old abandon houses and mansions.

Sometimes at night…

I went to explore an old mansion on one dark Halloween night. The night was stormy, with rain, thunder, and lightning. I had heard that something unusual had been reported happening in this particular mansion. Nothing like a murder. More like something supernatural. I wanted to see for myself. You know curiosity or something like that.

Mack Trucks are there any better from the East?

The recognized leader of the transportation industry since its inception in 1953, the Mack b model is one of the most common sights along our highways and byways. The first one rolled off the line on May 23, 1953. Production ran for 13 continuous years, terminating on April 28, 1966. In that time span, a total of 124,847 units were manufactured. In addition, there were 2,939 forward control fire engines and CKD units produced, making a grand total of 127,786 vehicles.

The B model featured the “million-mile” cab, with its unitized construction and four-point diamond mounting for maximum driver comfort and safety. In addition, the B models helped prove the feasibility and practicality of diesel powerplants for modern day trucking needs. Not only were they widely used for over-the-road hauling, but for many construction applications as well. In fact, B models hauled most everything, from soft drinks to gigantic oil field rigs.

The B model was offered in a rare for the time period integral sleeper. This option was popular with drivers from the South and hard to find examples of them today. Being popular with the south makes the Neo replica very authentic since it is for a trucking company based out of Atlanta Georgia.

California. Yes. I said California, I know it’s not popular but hear me out. California runs some pretty neat trucks and equipment not seen in our parts of the country.

The agricultural areas are often too hard or impossible to get our big 45’ foot grain trailers in or 48’ flatbeds in. So, California came up with a solution. They use doubles instead.

Boom! What's Going On Everyone?

I'm Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele, opening Advantage Diecast's Southside Warehouse doors on another episode of Toy Talk. I've got some great models, a supposedly TRUE backstory, and a question for you, so stay tuned to the end.

I supposed that everyone that has owned or driven a car has a tale to tell about the car. Usually it is about a good or bad driving experience.

I have a sinister, tale about a car named Christine. Christine is, that’s right, I said IS, because Christine may still exist today.

Christine is a RED 1958 Plymouth Fury. She came down the assembly line amid a string of yellow 1958 Plymouth Furies.

She was different in color, but other than that she was the same as the yellow furies that came down the line before and after Christine. No one paid any attention to Christine’s color and assembled her the same way as the other cars. But...............

Christine turned out to be pure evil. You might say possessed by the supernatural. Christine, you see, was approved by the devil himself.

Steven King wrote the story about Christine. John Carpenter brought her to life on the Silver screen. John Carpenter’s Christine is classed as a supernatural horror film. Steven King’s Christine is a 1983 classic horror novel.
