Construction vehicles

Post by Hancockshire » Mon Jul 27, 2009 3:36 pm

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.

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
