Where can I find one of these ? - they seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Would it be possible for Norscot to re-release a run say with a lowboy perhaps ? I actually only need the tractor for a project. In my opinion I prefer the T800 over the T800W - would like it if Chuck could arrange with WSI for the release of these. (T800) Don't like the Tonkin range due to the silly scale. What do you guys think ?

Anybody else who would part with some of these even if its only the tractor and/or damaged parts of the cab, chassis and hood thereof ? Required for custom work.
Thanks

It pains me to think that, even though I had to drive roughly fifty to sixty miles, to get to the nearest Flying J when I bought mine, I didn't buy more.
There has got to be some out there that gobbled a decent number of these up. Back when I bought mine, the two truck stops around the Indy area each had a display rack of no less than fifty. They also had them in smaller groups on other shelves in the store.
I had always thought that with that many on hand, I'd eventually get around to going and getting some more but by the time I did, there was not one to be found.
I decided then, that I'd just hunt the 'bay' and find some. As is typical though, there were only one or two being listed very in frequently and their selling price triple the store retail.
I only bought three. I traded one with a former forum member Christian...lol and am holding on to the other two like they are gold.
Sad thing is, they are not all that great of a model, without customizing.

Is this truck in fact 1/50 scale ? I read somewhere that it was manufactured by Tonkin and as you all know most of their trucks are in the very odd 1/53 scale ?
Thanks

Dolph Yes, it is in fact 1:50, Not a recycled Tonkin 1:53 casting
