I know everyone and thier brother will be snaping pics of cars on the new MBX Roll back. I though it might be fun to post some in the same thread.

I will start with mine, it's a Shelby casting on the back end, simply because I was looking to make the scale work.

Now let's see those photos gang...whatcha' waiting on?:wave:

Its not a MB but it is a rolloff, which is what we call them here in Florida.

although these Real Working Rigs are great models- (almost all of them have made it onto my site) they are practically 1/87 scale- so most MB won't look right. here's one with 2 HO vehicles in tow:

Nice one Plankowner, very realistic.
They are an odd scale, right between 1/64 & 1/87.

I believe they were confirmed in an MB report as 1/87 scale.

Those are 1/87th scale,all plastic,

made in Germany by a company called Busch,

geared toward the model railroading market.

The firebird is a regular issue run, model #41700.

The Indiana State Police dodge monaco model #46670 is from a limited edtion series, "U.S. State Police". I would love to have the whole set of these police cars,could get pricey and difficult to find.

Awesome photos gang, I have really enjoyed seeing all the variations out there.

I had intended this to feature the new Working Rigs Rollback, but I have dug the other brands posting in. Keep em' coming!

Wish somebody made a Dodge rollback to put one of my loose Mopars on.
A 50's Job Rated or Pilot House truck would be cool.:thumbsup:
Or a 60's version.

Roll backs didn't make the scene until the mid-seventies I believe.
still would be cool to see the in scale form though.

What's a pilot house truck?

Its not a MB but it is a rolloff, which is what we call them here in Florida.
Never heard "roll-off" before.
In these parts we call them ramp trucks, or hydrallic ramps.
The term prolly comes from these early non-hydrallic models pictured below.

Seems like you rarely see a regular tow/boom truck anymore.
I like the slang term for these...."hooks" (hook truck) as in "The car is comming to the shop on a hook".

I've had it for about 10 years Jefferson. It's not a custom, that's the way in came in the box. It's 1/87 scale (HO scale).
