Those of a certain generation will remember that as young children, and even as adults, their passion was to collect model toys, with a lot of these being vehicles that were made of metal and were painted in the livery of well-known companies. These models, which many people have preserved in their original boxes, have now become collectors’ items and rare models have very significant value.
Promotion
The models of today are painted in the colours of many different companies, with these companies being and various, due to the international nature of trucking. Trucks now traverse the roads and highways of Europe with all kinds of cargos. These cargos are carried on all types of trailers and these trailers allow for a whole range of models to be produced. It may be that a yacht is being carried on a low loader, or a whole cargo of Perspex that has been specially prepared is being transported. The low loader will have been adapted to carry these cargos and the trailer will be replicated to be attached to the unit that is carrying it. The names of the haulier will be written all over the model and the company whose name is being used will be paid a fee for the use of the name. The models are a good source of promotion for them as the models are a constant reminder of the company.
Cranes
Cranes are of great interest to young children as they now come in so many different sizes. The basic crane is fairly simple but when the crane is one with sixteen wheels, extending arms and turntables, the attraction for children is very high. The parts will all be working and the model will in fact be able to operate as if it is a real crane.
Limited number
The makers of these vehicles will occasionally produce a limited range of a particular model. The models will be highly specialised and attract great attention and will escalate in value if they are looked after.
The models are produced to a high level of health and safety requirements and will have lead free paint on them, thus allowing for them to be safe for young children.
