Some Matchbox "Collectible" series trucks...very close to HO, about a scale foot too wide on the tractor rear axles. 'Course, anyone who comes near my work with a scale rule is fixin' to get 790_smiley_picking_a_fight ...

Norscott "At Work" - eightyeightfan1 - 02-07-2009

I just picked this up today at Wally-World for $10.00 USD.
Its from Norscott, and is from thier "At Work" line.
It is HO scale, and like the other of Norscott's retail die cast, is lacking in detail(maybe cause Norscott is thinking a lot of these will end up in sandboxes, and not on layouts). Theres only three movemnt points(two on the arm, not the bucket, and the power section rotates 360 degrees, the treads don't roll[again..sandbox]) The weathering is more like paint overspray splatter. With a little more weathering, this (and the rest of the line) would look great.
This will make a good layout scene maker, flat car load, or in trucklovers case, a goose neck load.
For ten bucks...it is well worth it it.

Found this the other day, a scratch built Australian made Chamberlain tractor...Circa late 50's
Later taken over by John Deere

We owned one a long time ago, and replaced the 4 cylinder motor with a 5 cylinder Gardiner diesel, combining the flywheels from both motors in the rebuild she would tick over at about 50 rpms at idle. A beautiful piece engineering in its time..

Alas the ravishes of time has taken its toll on the original

Probably G scale or something, but I reckon still pretty cool. 2285_
