Tonka Trucks – Todays picture shows me next to three tonka trucks and I am holding a Tonka Wheel Loader. Even though they are over 6 years old they are brand new. I used to buy toys just to use the tires and rims for my custom models . That would leave the actual toys pretty much useless. Little did I know that our daughter Nicole would have a son . So now that he is 2.5 years old he should enjoy these trucks. About 7 years ago we were in Waterloo Iowa and we stopped at the Harbor Freight store and we saw these tires and wheels on sale for $4.00 . I always wanted to build a gravel train model in a large scale. So I bought 40 of them !!!
Well last year I did build a large scale low boy truck and trailer that did use 18 of those tires and rims. You can see in this picture 8 more of them now on the Tonka Trucks, ha,ha. I used the rest of them on other models so it took a while but I did use them up after today, ha,ha.
Today I pulled the jd trailer out of the shed and the jd wagon too for him to ride in. Next week is Gaylord Alpenfest and we will have fun with them here.
