Found these new items by Matchbox, and boy are they awesome!



The lone Rock KW cab is an Athearn HO posed for scale comparison. There were two versions of each truck, plus a cement truck I did not get because it looked way too foreign/modern compared to these.

The Western Star heavy wrecker uses a classic cab style that can pass for 30 years older... and is the closest to HO. The International dumper is the NGT from 2004, but the hydraulic bucket looks cool. And the garbge truck is a tad too modern for my layout, and perhaps larger-scaled than the other two... but check out all the articulation and moveable parts!

Can't beat 'em for $4.50 each.

I always thought Matchbox cars & trucks would be great for an HO layout... I thought about using mine someday...but with the combo train/slot car layout plan.. I don't know...

Wally's Evil Empire... but I'll bet they're sold at any major chain. They just came out as I did not see them a week or so ago.
