I didn't say that I wasn't going to buy...just seeing if these is an alternate option.
I don't care about the wheel size...for a riding car, it matters not to me...

Too many things going on to bother listing them.

The smaller wheel size for scale is probably an advantage with the lower center of gravity.Bill Shields wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 5:51 amI don't care about the wheel size...for a riding car, it matters not to me...

I believe the patterns might actually be the original Van Brocklin and not copies.steamingdon wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 3:19 pm These patterns are copies of Bill Van brocklin`s Andrews trucks.
I bought a set of these from Jim earlier this year and they are a great value for the price! I will most likely be purchasing a second set in the future!

No, I made the patterns from the originals. Bill had loose patterns, so I made a mold from those and used the reverse as the new pattern mounted on a match plate. You can`t beat the price.

Ah ok, that makes sense. When I purchased a set from Jim he mentioned they were an original design of Bill Van Brocklin so I thought he meant the patterns were original.
