Construction vehicles

There's a German toy manufacture called Bruder that make construction vehicles, tractors, lorries etc. These toys are quite costly but have a number of features such as working features including a Merc sprinter truck with functioning tipper. I remember owning these when I was younger & I remember the scale from the little catalog, 1:19.

Who thinks this is a good way to getting modern day vehicles, Check the rest of the range here http://brudertoys.com/index.php, click pro series & have a look.

I used to have them too when I was young... a Volvo FL6 cement mixer and a Manitou telescopic loader!

Durable, but quite expensive for those pro series ones...

I know, but yet you could fit RC & have working tractors etc

That second link looks worse to me than the first! It doesnt even exist in real life!

Forklift is the best, less things to go wrong with these cheap chinese things that alllwaaays break (I know that from when I was little [and dissappointed]).

Scale IS 1:16 which is to large compared to 1:19

Nice models, o i do like the Massey Ferguson and there are several threads on the web about RCying Bruder models.

www.bruder.de way better then the US-site and Bruder = a German company
