Reply to "Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them"

Hi everyone, I thought I might post for your review and enjoyment another member of my "Japanese Tinplate Trucks" club. This one is a cement mixer and the rubber wheel friction drive actually turns the mixer tank on the back as it propels the truck along. This one unlike the Mobile Pet Shop I showed earlier is a little closer to O-scale. I have placed an actual 1/48 size person near the cab door to show the scale comparison. The working end of the truck is quite realistic, the chute for the concrete swivels and moves up and down as it would on a real truck. Rear even has the registration plate. The mixer moves at a realistic rotational speed. The downsides are that there is no real cab interior, not even a steering wheel and the cab doors are only hinted at and not really there. Another acquisition from a trip to Kadena AFB on Okinawa, Japan (actually it belonged to the US when I was there).

Have a happy weekend everyone.

Don
