06/18/11 122 W, 2 I - + 3 - 3 Oshkosh Stryker + Rogers Lowboy
Speaking of myself, here's a bit of Saturday scale-model madness. These are recent additions to the man cave collection. That's a 1:50 scale, die-cast metal replica of an Oshkosh Striker 3000 airport crash truck lettered for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Made by TWH Collectibles in a small quantity for the airport fire department's union. They took orders late last year.
The transport is a Kenworth T800W four-axle day-cab tractor pulling a Rogers lowboy with flip axle. That one's distributed by Sword Models, which is also made by TWH. Lots of features on both. Click to enlarge. Apologies for poor deep focus on top shot. Looks like that third axle needs lowering, as well! Boys and their toys...
