TRAIN TIME: K-Line 1/48 Scale Diecast Heavy Hauler #K-8116 REESE'S Flatbed

K-Line had a series of tractor-trailer trucks called 'Heavy Haulers' and as part of that line offered  a total of seven different trucks with Hershey's graphics. In 1993 they introduced five of the seven with the other two being released later. The truck featured in this post is a flatbed loaded with pallets of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - YUM! My favorite (and I have since become enamored of their Peanut Butter Sticks!). None of the boxes for the first five trucks are marked with a scale, however, the last truck in the series is clearly marked '1/48 scale' and it is the same size as the others. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

TRAIN TIME: 2023 Christmas Train Layout - Pt 3d K-Line #K-012103A North Pole Village (2004) #K-403104 North Pole Train Station

Just like the other building's in K-Line's North Pole Village, this station is a re-pop of the original Marx Suburban RR Station. Also - like the other buildings - it has the original accessory group but none of the figures. K-Line already made these stations with green roofs so all they needed to do was cast the trim and dock in red and voila', instant Christmas theme! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
