![]() ![]() Here's another score from the 2015 St. Louis Farm Toy show. I bought this from Troy's Toys in a private room set up for trading/selling. Cab over designs of the 1930s offered up futuristic styling with a strong hint of muscle.

It's listed as 1/64. I'll do a comparison shot soon Wes with an Auto World model of some sort. |

That is a very striking livery. And the model itself looks to be exceptionally done. Curious to see the scale comparison pic, if this is close to true 1/64 I may need to track down two. |

These AHL/Hartoy models are close to true 1/64. I have several. S guage modelers use them quite a bit on their layouts. The Ford C cab is my favorite. Jeff |

Yep, 1/64 sounds about right! |

So, this would be in the years after they used English Lledo models, right? Looks great. I think I'll have to end up getting one of these. |

I have a bunch of these Hartoy trucks in mostly Hersheys chocolate and brewery liveries. They are nicely detailed, heavy, and very well made castings.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Had a little spill during a refueling...

That's a big casting! I'd be even more up a creek as far as display space, if I had 1/64 trucks like this as an active part of my collection. They sure are nice though. |

Thanks Sir Crafty for doing this particular feature. I must say that I am impressed with the casting. I've never seen one of these casting before. I like it. Cheers. Cobra |

These are extremely nice models. I had quite a few of the AHL trucks in Coca Cola liveries at one time - even had one that advertised American Flyer trains! |
