  Thanks for the pics, can't wait to get them. The 613G will be a must since we have two 613Cs. How does the 613G compare in size with the 613C that ertl put out several years ago. I hope it is larger.

I'm liking that 613G, as well as that blue Mack Granite, I've been debating whether or not to get it, but I think you've convinced me. Where did you get those lowboy trailers btw? Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! I love them all. That blue Mack-truck is one hell of a nice truck. The old Mack is pretty cool too. I went for a ride with one of these old Macks when I was in the US. Shifting gears was quite a challange with the unsyncronized gearbox. Still was lots of fun. Btw: Who´s the maker of the old Mack truck?

Matchbox, but by the looks of it, he extended the frame and added a dump box. It goes great with the 966a  Sweet custom b-61 Chris, I like the 613 also.

A general thanks for the compliments. The first lowboy is a Tonkin made Cheater in 1/53rd that is quite close in looks to 1/50th. ......I got it from Drayburn/Bob so the wheels might have been a custom touch. The second lowboy is a Conrad made Talbert that I chopped down to a two axle 35 tonner(I believe). The orange Mack is a Matchbox (long discontinued) that is in a slow process of being lengthened and made into a dump. The 966a definitely deserves some vintage trucks to load as it is a great little model. I have actually been thinking about getting another 966a to convert into a wheel dozer.......which is likely a bit of imagineering on my part, but oh well.

a Cutter, After I posted that statement I realized I had asked a pretty dumb question. The ertl 613C was 1:64th scale, l didn't think about that when I asked the comparison question about the 613G which is in 1:50th. Yea Ertl put out a few 1:64th scale models some years ago. I got the D6H and the 613C both in 1:64th. It was about the same time when Ertl put the D10N,the fabulous 631E,D350D ADT and a loader that I don't have and can't remember what it was(988 I think). Oh I forgot the 5080 front shovel too!

The more I look at the two loaders the more I think a nice 992a would look nice.
