Frauline Friday

Something a little different for mrsmack.

Picked these up from my mothers house after 40 years in storage.
Amassed a nice array of model US and European trucks from childhood but didn't realized what a closet Mercedes Benz collector I must have been then.

Love the 1418 Lego Shell tanker from the mid 60's.most of the rest are Matchbox, Husky, Corgi and Siku .

   

Thats a well looked after collection of toys considering the ago of them

After I stumbled upon the Lego exhibition in Melbourne a month or so ago my brother and I spent many hours reminiscing on the phone about the few toys we had as kids

I'm getting more nostalgic the older I get, if that is even possible because I have always been a nostalgic type of person

Grandad, what is that truck with the 6 pointed star, please?

Jarrod.

It's a Henschel

That Henschel could do with a cut and polish !!!

 
 

Here's one I drove many, many years ago.

And a couple more I might of driven, but only around the yard
 
And this one I used to see quite often around Sydney but has been a couple of years since I last saw him.
 
 

2 nicely restored Fraulines at the Lockhart Truck Show 2024.

This Frauline used to go very quick did the Lismore to Sydney run

Yes everyone, it's  how quick was that week, it only seems like Frauline Friday was a week ago
