The Quest Continues

Mostly Matchbox flea market finds (except the Majorette Saviem). So far, I like imgur. Easy to use, and no guilt about remote posting the links. The BBCode is easy to get (no editing the code like for Flickr), but it was also easy to get on Photobucket too. Hosting sites can obviously change their agreements at will. Ride the wave while you can!![]() ![]() ![]()

Nice group of trucks in need of a load. I switched to Imgur as others told me it would be fairly easy to use like PB had been - and they were right!

Nope - the two Mercedes had a plastic canopy and the two Leyland's had containers. Think the Majorette also came with a canopy. |

You are quite right had another one of those ever famous senior moments... Even worse - it has he Mercedes logo on the grille - guessing I had Leyland on the brain from the question about the pipe truck.

Nice finds! I buy trucks like this also, with no load. I'd like to make a truck junkyard out of them. |
