Unk Mfr - Tin Army Troop Carrier - Cragstan?

Here's the last of the three Japanese tin Army vehicles I recently acquired, the Troop Carrier. It's actually the same truck as the dump truck posted yesterday but with the addition of the tarp. It measures 4 1/8" (10.47cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 1 7/8" (4.76cm) H. At the end of the post are some comparison photos with Pyro and Gilmark vehicles. They're all a pretty good fit together. I'd love to do some kind of display or diorama but that'll have to wait for now. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Unk Mfr - Tin Army Dump Truck - Cragstan?

Here's the second of three Army trucks I recently acquired. I'm calling this a dump truck but the dump action doesn't actually work. In any case it was probably made by the same Japanese firm who made the ambulance posted yesterday. It measures 4 1/8" (10.47cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) H. Enjoy!

Japan Tin Ladder Truck

When I bought the Marx General Alarm Fire House featured two days ago, it came with two tin fire trucks made in Japan by an unknown manufacturer. Yesterday we posted the Rescue Van and today we''l look at the ladder truck. Unfortunately my truck is sans left front wheel but I'll keep it and perhaps a wheel will come my way some day. This is a pretty small truck at 4" (10.2cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.8cm) W x 1 1/2" (3.8cm) H (with ladder down) and works close to 1/64 scale. Enjoy Last Es euch gefallen The Berg's :)
