New Tooling - Again!
Reader,
It's been a minute since you have been updated about the library.
The first big news is new tooling. I have been told that Chad Weber's Toys has created new trailers: the East Genesis II Michigan 31' & 20' End Dumps, which is pretty cool.
Not gonna lie, this flat lander has not seen this style of trailer in person before. Either way, seeing new stuff being created for collectors is cool. At the moment, it looks like 12 different runs were done with Pete and KW tractors.
Next, rather than list all the new runs added to the library, I will tell you 45 semi sets have been added. These are mostly new releases by Chad Weber's Toys and DC Toy trucks with several older runs from the 3,000 series. Plus, there are two "Easter Eggs" I added. Can you find them?
Records are continually being updated as data is mined from the interwebs. For those sending in edits, THANKS! It helps a lot.
Happy Collecting,
Eric

Reader There have been a lot of new subscribers joining the library. Welcome! A couple of things to know. One, if you see a record with missing data, I am always on the hunt to fill in the blanks. The "suggest an edit" field is your opportunity to make the library even better by helping me fill in the blanks. This is especially important on older sets that are getting harder to find good data on. Two, curate your own collection in the "my models" and "my wishlist" sections. Choose the $8 per...
Reader Been a little while since we spoke and WOW, the diecast hits keep coming. This month alone there have been various owner-operator and company sets released all with Wilson grain trailers. 5,544 to be exact. If you need a grain trailer you won't have trouble finding one. I've mentioned before these sets seem to come in waves. 2023 has been dominated by Peterbilts with double or single-round headlights and buckets of lowboy trailers. I will bet good money you will see 379 Petes with...
