Where to shop for affordable 1940's 1:43 vehicles?
Posted by Hotrod on Wednesday, November 28, 2018 8:58 AM

I'm searching to find some affordable 1940's vintage vehicles for my 0 gauge layout in 1:43 scale, cars & trucks; and especially a logging truck. I'm not interested in the expensive collectors price class types.

Thanks,

Rod in CT

I was at DOLLAR GENERAL yesterday, and noticed a nice cross-section of 1/43 vehicles, some from the mid-50's.

Our local CVS had scads of them on endcaps - they seem to pop up during the holidays in their toy section, also our local Dollar General had them too, like Fife mentioned, and also our Super-Walmart. I found a nice firetruck. The ones I saw under bubbles at Menards looked very close to scale too. They were a bit pricier.
