Are these trucks 1:48 Scale? I like them.
For the price, you can't go wrong. The quality is great !

Hi Max,
This truck measures 6"L x 1-3/4"W x 2-1/4"H and it looks great! It's a heavy piece of die-cast, that's for sure!

Terrific! Now we need Ye Olde Bottling Plant! Swafford show Mark how it could look!!
This is a screaming deal! I have two of the Pepsi trucks and will be ordering a couple more and some Mtn Dew versions.
Mark, any chance we will see some other brands? Any adult beverage brands? How about a Leinenkugel truck!!!

I would say they are. A Freightliner M2 cab such as the one this model represents has a real life length of 106" from the front bumper to the back of the cab (BBC) and the model measures 2.25" which is spot on in my book.
Here are some photos of mine so you can see how it compares to a 1:43 sprinter and a 1:50 beverage truck. Don't get hung up on the Coke's long body as in real life these trucks come with all different lengths depending on the route. I also put it next to 1:43 suv and in my view it works well.
Menards did an amazing job with these trucks!!! And as Mark noted they are solid and heavy with all of the Diecast mine appears to even have metal frame rails
Great looking trucks! You can't beat the price either. They would look out of place with all the vehicles I have on my layout, so I'll have to pass. Menards has been offering some nice items for O gauge fans.
Cool! Might have to pick up a couple for the Christmas layout.
Anyone got a lead on some soda flats that would fit? A vignette of a guy unloading a couple flats into a store would be cool

While a bit too modern for my layout.....I need a Valvoline truck!!!!! Dad was Valvoline racing director 1960-1970 in LA. And I just bought a new F-150.......it's destiny!!! COOL!!!!
Mark,
The new F150's look great, but don't forget that there are other lines out there. We have quite a few Menards stores in Ohio and I have yet to see anything with an Ohio Central road name. Also, would love to see some circus cars...

Mark, please stop!!! My streets are getting jammed and my citizens are complaining that it takes them too long to get anywhere now!! ��
Has anyone found a place to buy accessories for the trucks such as small soda crates that could be stacked near the trucks etc! Would be a dynamite detail to arrange with the trucks next to the bottling plant that Swafford will design for Menards!! Just sayin!
Scenic Express may have something that you could use. Their phone number is 724- 468-3106 and they are open today until 5:00 pm.
I ordered some that were like these and painted them for my general store. Mine has some full cokes and some empties like stores might have in the '50s. Model Tech Studios have some and I see some on the Bay. They are fairly easy to paint.
