5 years later (and still the best)
It has been a long long time now since the development of Tonkin Replicas lowboy trailer. Here is a photo from 2004 showing part of the product development. I found this in the archives, and thought it was interesting. Labels: lowboy, Tonkin Replicas

Fun with Dioramas
Part of the fun of collecting is combining products and creating dioramas. Shown here was an early concept (not used) that combined a ton 1:87 scale 53' trailer with some HO scale people (source unknown).

Ads that didn't make it
At Tonkin Replicas a lot of ads get made. Quite a few concepts, several of which end up on the cutting room floor never to see the light of day. Here is one rejected ad example, produced for fun by a senior artist (who was apparently very hungry).

Peterbilt Dump Trucks
I ran across these on Midwest Replicas site. Not exactly new, but still the only place you can buy the Precision Series Peterbilt Quad-axle dump truck. These dump trucks actually fit a business card perfectly- that wasn't the original intent but they make great holders. Even better: they are on sale. Picture stolen from Midwest Replicas 1:53 scale section with no apologies.
