Kurt do remember the trailer of the Caterpillar earth scraper - now I have a tractor for it.

Glad to see you found a tractor for the Earth Scraper.
Looks like a good one with nice paint and the drivers head complete. Do the axel ends on the tractor and trailer match (crimped vs rounded)?
I like this early casting very much; I think I have 4 sets in various conditions.

Viel spaß!

Smetimes Thing happen very fast. I found a better, complete Trailer for the tractor.

Hi,

back home from holiday in south Netherland.
I found some models and some animals on a fleamarket in Ziriekzee.
Any idea (manufacturer) of the caterpillar with the headless driver?

Hallo Stephan!
I do not recognize the back row but certainly recognize the front row!
The yellow Ford wagon and silver waste removal truck are both great examples!
Congratulations and enjoy!

Hi all,
Yesterday was a good day.
A friend sold me the body of a Eheim draisine.
I´m pretty shure this body was made by Matchbox for Eheim because it still has the VW Sign on the front.
After Eheim bought the tooling the VW-sign was removed out of the mold.
Have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3194&p=31881&hilit=eheim#p31881

Now I´m looking for a chassis Matchbox with wheels - if somebody ha s a beater please let me know.
If not a 3D-printed chassis will do as well.

A great little collection to have. The Routemaster Bus looks in really good condition. The white Ford Mustang is a favourite and while clearly has been well loved and played with, it is still quite presentable.

You've been doing great with the finds Stephan. The M8 Mobil gas tanker with the "black wheels" is rather hard to come by.

The white Ford Mustang is a favourite and while clearly has been well loved and played with, it is still quite presentable.

Just found out that it is the version with the patent number.
I didn´t had this version until yesterday.
And shame to me the model is the best one I have - after some cleaning it looks a bit better as on the picture above.
