@nickies 

I agree with you about the gas pumps. They did the Sinclair ones, so most of the tooling/ mold work should be done. The separate center sign would have to be re-done for a different shape logo.

What I mean is a not a redo of the gas pump that has been done but a complete Series that would cover the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Ironically,  the main reason those who buy Brooklin models is because they are heavy and don't care much about accuracy.

@jkuvakas I would debate on that anytime with facts. No more comments on the matter.

@ed-davis I agree with Ed. Also, Vitesse did a gazillion gas pumps years ago. If BRK reissues the previous pumps, could we have the overhead lights that were omitted from the Sinclair version?

Click bait John, that is all that is.....and then he shuts it down when he is called out on it.

Just because you can't afford something, doesn't mean you can't appreciate it.

No more comments on the matter.

@john-quilter When I saw the Ford Stake truck I immediately thought of the Dinky Toys 25 Series, I think, Farm Produce Wagon (We don't call them stake trucks). Could the 1:1 Ford have been the inspiration for the Dinky Toy?

@mike-coupe, I think Brooklin is considering several variations on that chassis. "Farm Produce" makes more sense to me than "stake." However, over here, folks have a tendency to know exactly what a stake truck is. Brooklin's nomenclature on the final version might be more UK-oriented.
