<P mce_keep="true">For those of you who do not lurk in toy sections of Walmart, here are a couple more products that I picked up on my second trip that might be of interest....esp. because I understand the prices are rather good compared to other HO vehicles.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Both the CAT and semi tractors are from a company called Norscot in WI, USA.</P> <P mce_keep="true">The little CATs are $2.92 ea. (like the Sweet Cherries I posted about last week), and the semis are $5.92 ea. All are 1:87.</P> <P mce_keep="true">There are only the two types of semis in the display at my store...the Kenworth and the Peterbilt in various colours. And there are no trailers with them.</P> <P mce_keep="true">However, I thought these would sort of look good with some left-over UP decals and lined up at a terminal or gas bar.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Maybe worth a look in your local WM if you are in need of vehicles.</P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P> <P mce_keep="true"><IMG src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/Untitled-1copy.jpg" mce_src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/Untitled-1copy.jpg"> </P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P> <P mce_keep="true">By the way, does anyone have a good idea for using the little plastic display cases that come with these vehicles? I have used one for a toggle switch box and another for a speaker housing, but they are kinda neat looking containers and I have a lot of them empty now.</P> <P mce_keep="true"><IMG src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/n3.jpg" mce_src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/n3.jpg"></P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
