Ebay items this week
One of my favorite Propane trucks? Has to be Tri-Gas. There is one on ebay here.
Need reefers? Looks like FatJack is moving some of his extra units out. At a good price. Dave of course is a well known customizer that does quality work. See his article here on DCC.

Model Retailer
The latest issue of Model Retailer (page 42) had a quick write up on the 1:53 scale Precision Series Replica for Zelo Water that B2B Replicas had made. If you are a retail store and you don't know B2B, well, you probably aren't really selling that much die-cast. B2B handles the wholesale side, although you can find that same truck for sale at retail at 3000toys.com (amongst other places). Check it out!

Hello!
Today's Ebay action
I saw Joe Garlington had an interesting unit put together, matching up a 1:64 scale First Gear tractor with a PEM 1:64 scale 40' container. Interesting mix. At the current bid ($10.50) that is a great deal. Garlington has also listed the Byrne Dairly T800 with double 45' trailers and double axle dolly. Huge piece- these boxes weigh a ton (OK, not really a ton, but they are heavy).
I don't know Trainsntn, but I do remember the Peterbilt 379x made with the XL lowboy.
At that time we were using the larger, oversized box. Still a good piece.Maybe the best deal I saw, however, was an old Consolidated Freightways model offered (at the time of this posting) for $14.99. Not exactly a new run, but still one of the best. Featuring an FLD-120 non-sleeper cab and double 28' trailers in the custom CF box.
Going back to 1:87 for a minute, I saw giraffeenancy has been starting most bids at $8.99. I am not familiar with that seller but that is a good deal. Like this Navajo unit.

1:87 HO Scale Models
We spend a lot of time on the larger models, but some of the best deals are on the smaller HO Scale models. There are a huge number of trucks done for a wide range of fleets and it is a good way to affordably build up a nice collection. We found a great selection of these available at Central Valley Models...Labels: 1:87 HO, TON trucks

United Peterbilt
Sleepers - lined up
All of the Unibuilt sleepers are made by Tonkin Replicas. Here is a photo of some die-cast scale model sleepers ready for assembly. Shown here is the 63" flattop... The flexibility to add (or remove) the sleeper is part of what gives Peterbilt trucks such a high resale value.
