There was some mention of Boley and Trucks n Stuff vehicles on another thread, and I like them a great deal. Here are a few that I've been working on. It looks as if Boley was bringing out a lot of stuff up to five years ago or so, and then they seem to have decided to concentrate on their larger-scale die cast stuff. Now Walthers has taken them over, a good move, though they're a little more expensive. You can probably find older Boley stock at a better price at a place called 3000 Toys, if you want to pick up some bargains.
Boley cherry picker. I added an orange traffic cone from JL Innovative Designs -- Bachmann is also now bringing out traffic cones. A lot of these work trucks carry traffic cones.
Here's a City Power truck: Also with a traffic cone, but some photos I got of a prototype version show how many other details you can add to one of these:
And here's the start of a hi-rail truck kitbashed from three Boleys, including the City Power utility-style body and crane: This is waiting for me to figure out how to add a Custom Finishing heavy-duty hi-rail conversion, which turns out to be designed for the Atlas Ford tractor pretty specifically.
