sometimes the toys get bigger the older you get... yer a gurl so yer probably immune.

it goes hot wheels, tonka, four wheeler, hatchback, big ugly truck, skidder, log truck, excavator, pretty soon you got one of those big arsed dump trucks what they use for strip mining... and no where to park it

Welcome...

i wasnt that into barbies when i was little, used to rip their heads off or cut their hands and feet off.
this is the log loader that we have so far, were getting more

We discovered that nail polish remover would take off their facial features. You can tie a Barbie to a Banty chicken and have races, except the Barbies don't stay upright for very long.

Dusted off some "old iron" for this odd show and tell thread. It is indeed running in the third shot, but my camera seems to have failed in capturing the action

Ive got one of those!!! have the wagon and a hommade plow lol

When I get home i'll get pics of my hand crank toy steam donkey... complete with real chokers. :cool2:

Btw a cheaper alternative to the pellet things is sterno... just scoop some up and stick it in.

Nice. My Pops picked it up for me at a swap meet when I was a kid, been haulin' it around with me ever since.

Good call on the Sterno, still running it off the same stash of bricks I had in the 80s.

To make it totally legit there needs to be atleast 1-2 mini-horrific mini-accidents every time it's fired up

If i remember right i put a lil tinfoil in the bottom just to protect the metal. lot cheaper than those bricks!

At one of the Forest Service basic logging systems trainings, they had a table top yarder. When it was my turn, I hooked on too many toy logs and the guylines pulled out and the yarder tipped over.

I was just tryin' to make it a good turn!

a barbie makes great blow up items, although i was rebellious when i was young, i was more into boy clothes and g.i joes and army men, rc cars made it easy to run a barbie over or burry her in the dirt. im a tomboy so i get it from my dad whose a logger in Oregon, like father like daughter

Have you had any trouble out of that 450B. We had a 450C and it was nothing but trouble.
