Are the 1:87 scale Kibri HO scale models?

Majorete used to make die cast toys like Matchbox. They used to have a lot of Maggies.

G'day KW 10x6

The 1:87s are a mixture of Kibri, Herpa, Wiking, Hummer and Brekina.
The 1:43s are Cursor, Schuco, Signature and Minichamps.
Also shown are a couple of Odd Corgi and Matchbox fire vehicles.
They are a bit of a mixture but I like them.

Cheers

Hey RS are they bottles of grog in the corners in the cabniet.

Yes Dave..

Trust you to spot the Booze

I have two bottles of 'Magirus Winker Blinker Ol' special edition Schnapps made to support the upkeep of the worlds Oldest running Magirus, a 1935 M27.
I was given the bottles on my visit at the April 2011 Maggie Rally in Neustadt.

Rs , isnt funny how all those look same of that era ,take way the badges and it could be anything from a Ford thru to a Bedford or a Magrius. dave

Hi mate,

They all tended to look the same as they nearly all had timber frames covered in steel sheet.
The strength was in the timber and the panels a were mainly flat, for ease of construction.
When pressed steel panels, with corrugations and curves came in, they started to to employ designers, and the vehicles started to get their own individual characteristics.
Then Glass Fibre and Plastics were introduced to the motor trade, and things really took off, which has led to large parts of cabs, being single panels, and each manufacturer having their own identity.
The steel press is a wonderful thing and I clearly remember standing next to working machines turning flat steel sheets into domed roof panels, with a leg at each corner, these being the top of the 'A' posts and 'D' posts.
Sorry... I went off on a bit of a 'Onetrack' extended answer there ?

Cheers

Rs,

The only dramas I have with tin over timber is the BL##DY nails keep coming out on the rough dirt tracks and the modern screws keep snapping I'm always looking for old wood screws ,I just got off the track too. dave
