Nice pics Patrick. That Dump Truck is a KB 6 International not a White although that tanker is a British White around the 40s. My Grandpa had one of these KB Internationals as a road tractor same color and same disc wheels. I like that truck I wish I would have bought one of those when White Box the first came out with them.

Here you go guys, a couple of shiny tankers picking up so fuel for town and a sharp looking I believe it's a Kenworth. I think he is just taking his mandatory break from driving!

Oh and how can I forget the new Peterbuilt in the background dropping some gators off at Menards Feed & Seed!

Mike, great scene...with all that diesel power, you must have your own 10,000 tank to keep those tanks full!

Here are some closer pics of my York purchases, but first:

picked this up a couple weeks ago and have been looking for one for 2+ years- K-line ISO tank trailer chassis

On to the York purchases I posted previously- The VW GTI in the middle was $5, made by Schabak models Actually is my favorite(well 1a) of the bunch!

Heres 1b for nostalgia’s sake-  Corgi Austin Mini Countryman Police van. Made between 1964-1969, looked up prototype info on its dimensions, it really is that small!

Lee - thanks for the information!   Much appreciated!    I'm making changes in my post to include your information.   When I originally posted I was going by what I "thought" I remembered seeing on the boxes in which those trucks came. LOL!

Nice ISO Matlack tank. I work for Dana Transport they bought out my company about 4 years ago I see lots of  ISO tanks on our yard now there pretty interesting I’ve never pulled one though.

@lee drennen

Lee:

Your work assembling and modifying the kit is superb! Are the kits still available? If so, where can they be purchased?

Thank you.

Randy thanks for the complement. I’m pretty sure you can no longer get these. You can try Dan’s Models from Romania. Just a warning the Resin is very bad after a couple years it started to warp especially the frame that why I rebuilt this one and repainted it. I also added Don Mills tires and wheels.
