Thanks guys
Yeah it's a fun lil hobby.. A little pricy though The Wedico stuff (Freightliner Century Class Laidlaw truck) is more difficult to find parts. There all German made. But the rest of the trucks came be bought from your local hobby store. They are Tamiya kits.
or just search Tamiya trucks on ebay. $300.00 + for a kit The Wedico Laidlaw Century Class is $1500 for a base kit.
No neighborhood kids allowed LOL It's hard enough to keep my grandson out of my work shop. He always wants to play with Papa's tucks LOL
