![]() PEM's 1996 Freightliner C-120 is the truck for today. ![]()
![]() Visit Wikipedia.com to learn more on Freightliner trucks. ![]() Precision Engineered Models (PEM) was a brand sold by Hartoys back in the 1990s and was later acquired by Tonkin Replicas. This is one heavy model with a handful of nice details though by no means up to par with current offerings from Die-Cast Promotions or SpecCast. ![]()

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Looks great to me! Especially with the trailer behind it! |

Used to see a lot of Werner trucks on the road, so that is a familiar livery. Very nice looking model! That is similar to, but a model year or two newer and a redesign (and pulling a refer trailer) of the one I used to drive cross country back in the mid-90s. (I love to say I made it to 47 states and 3 provinces of Canada, and was within ten miles or so of another Canadian province...I was so far out in Quebec I was well past the state of Maine, I had to learn some minimal French in a hurry!) Enough about me, you have a very nice model here! |

Very nice! I am actually a gargantuan tractor-trailer truck fan, but I do not have a lot of diecast models to back up that statement. Very nice photos, Zach! |

Before Freightliner purchased them, American LaFrance were owned by Kersey Manufacturing and made their apparatus about ten minutes away from me in Bluefield, Virginia. That's the main reason I'm so interested in classic fire apparatus today. The full size tractor and trailer is a common sight on the highway. I think this is a great truck and trailer. When was this one made? |

Looks to be a great model! The detail on the real truck is translated quite well onto the model itself! What scale is it? |

@ Cody - I'm guessing the late 90s or very early 00s. @ Terence - It's 1/64 scale. |

I really like the truck and the livery. If this were at or near 1/87 scale to fit with all my other trucks, I'd be searching frantically for one. |
