Photo archives, Mercedes Trucks

Post by Tinman »

I like the MB 1e Mercedes Trucks. The mint green was boring so I like to give them more character.

These I do remember seeing before, but no harm in showing them again as we have several new members since their last showing.

Lovely fleet of trucks and trailrs Roland. Can we see more of the double trailer unit at the front and I can't help noticing the TP at the back with it's front wheels a tiny bit loose... :D

I agree. The post '69 variations of this truck are the only superfast variations I had in my collection. With the exception of a couple of transitional models, they were the only superfast models in my MB collection.

Kevin, i got the blisterpack for a smale cent because of the loose axle. I wouldn´t have bought it in perfect condition, they fetch crazy prices.

At the moment, when i took that photo, it was just an additional trailer of the IMS truck. Today i have two sets, as i found a very good no. 1

I hope it's holding up well, that's one of my personal favorites.

I would love to have a display cabinet (or a room) with all of my restored and custom models on display. I stopped counting them when I hit the 3,000 mark, so that would more likely require a dedicated room of displays to show them all. As it is, I have an entire photobucket album dedicated to the photos of my customs and restorations and it takes a bit of time to view the whole album.
