National Farm Toy Show time in Dyersville, Iowa!
I’m Logan the 64th Gear Jammer Skeele and I’ve got a special video for tonight all about the big show with highlights from last year. So, smash the like button and let’s go!
The 47th Annual National Farm Toy Show was Friday November 1st through Sunday November 3rd, 2024.
The show was located at the Beckman High School, the National Farm Toy Museum, Commercial Club Park, and Outdoor Sales in Dyersville.
The show hours are:
5 PM to 8 PM on Friday the 5th.
9 AM to 6 PM on Saturday the 6th.
And 9 AM to 2 PM on Sunday the 7th.
General Admission is $10 per day or get a Floor Rights Pass for $30 and get into the show early all weekend! Talk about a great deal. Same money for all three days and get in early! The Best Deal
Floor rights passes get in at 2 PM instead of 5 PM on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday floor rights pass gets you in at 8 AM instead of 9 AM.
Now that the nitty gritty details are out of the way. Lets talk about some of the events that make this show special.
The First and MAIN EVENT is the toy show and sales. Shop farm toys, trucks, construction equipment, and memorabilia at just under 200 booths!
The premiere building for booths is the Beckman High School.
Shameless plug here, stop by my booth in Beckman High School Hallway H2 Table 27 and say Hi and get one of my Chevrolet Bisons or Chevrolet Titan semi-trucks in 64th Scale.
Other sales booths are in the National Farm Toy Museum, the Commercial Club Park, and outside tents around the Museum and scattered in other parts of Dyersville.
There are dealers here from all over the United States bringing with them models of region specific equipment. It’s a great place to expand your collection to include some items from other parts of the US.
If you are looking for a specific farm toy odds are someone will have it here.
Also, for all you display guys, there are tons of accessories available to choose from to take your display to the next level.

I wouldn't be admiring too much of the ridiculous 90 semi truck and trailers that cart around Swift's stage setups. I suppose if your music is not good enough to get the attention of the average listener you may need 90 trucks full of stage distraction to back you up. Taylor Swift is receiving a lot of heat for the planet-heating emissions of her private jet. Not only is Swift topping the charts but also comes first in the list of celebrities with the highest Co2 emissions from flying, according to an initiative tracking celebrities flying privately. Her private jet usage amounted to an estimated 8,300 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2022(looks like that's going up in 2024).That’s about 1,800 times the average human’s annual emissions, or 576 times that of the average American and about 1,000 times that of the average European.👣 Taylor cares about climate disruption and the environment. In a 2020 interview, she said climate change was one of the “horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now,” especially young people. Time for one of those electric planes and a fleet of electric transport trucks?, lol. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. 💥
My uncle drove for navajo for 23 years
Will you please do a review on a Driven RC School bus? Plz reply
Not the M100, it’s a 1150R but it is very nice
You are right, it is a 1150R, just read the title where I said "DCP by First Gear 64th Scale Peterbilt 389 Miller Century 1150 Rotator" Also I never called the model the M100, I called it the 1150 rotator. I talked about before the review the M100
I wish some companies would put out some 1/16 scale b model macks out. Got a white tandem axle stake bed truck. Hood opens, door open by a handle , front wheels turn. Nice tandems. Better than all the small stuff.
I never got to see "Movin' On" so......."BJ & The Bear" became my favorite - and it still is. I own one of the model rigs released by "Road Kings" but, unfortunately, I never could afford the reefer trailer. :(
Thank you this information
Remember? Hell, I was almost a 3rd generation Sealtest delivery driver for Detroit Creamery. If you can direct me to a link that has one of these Sealtest models for sale, please let me know. Thanks!
When I retired from the Navy I got my CDL and went to work for Werner the next day. I checked in at their Fontana terminal and there was like 20 or 30 new hires waiting for trainers to come in. After a few hours they said they had a trainer available but he was pulling flat beds. Nobody wanted flat beds but I said I will take it. We were driving a 1999 Freightliner Classic XL identical to the one in this video and it had about 250K miles on it. Spent 30 days with that trainer, a big fat redneck from Oregon but he was one hell of a truck driver and a good guy. We were supposed to be running the 11 western but he talked our monitor into running all 48 because I was driving well and we were putting on some miles. I have to say it was quite an adventure but after my first 30 days Werner let me go home for 6 days and while there events occurred that prevented me from returning to Werner.
I was leased to the Pirkle meat division out of Chicago
The DCP seems nicer overall to me. The smaller sleeper is more typical and having outriggers and cable that function is good. Big goof on the underlift, though. More money, but worth it I believe. Thanks for your extensive and detailed reviews. Very informative.
Always grateful😊thankyou for the review😊really enjoyed it have a wonderful night Logan
I don’t like Rear Working Rigs because they don’t have construction equipment
I like the ixo one thanks for sharing 👍

AMT never did the F series cabover. Pretty common to have 6 spoke on the front and 5 spoke on the rear.
You are right, AMT did the Cruiseliner not the F Model. I saw the Mack Cabover model kit in my stack and forgot it was the Cruiseliner.
Great video. Would be awesome to have included the Tekno and WSI versions in 1/50 scale.
I like the IXO except for the cab not tilting.
Each one has its flaws, but I like the Top Shelf’s a little better. I also like the spoked wheels on Top Shelf, don’t really care for the chrome plated ones on the IXO’s. I’ve seen many Mack’s with 6-spoke front and 5-spoke rears. I have a couple pics of such Mack’s with this setup. Cool video.
@LoganSkeele, I don’t know if you remember the classic tv series titled “CHIPS”, in season two episode two titled “THE VOLUNTEERS”, an accident at a chemical unloading depot causes Ponch and Baker to help escort three vintage International Harvester cabovers labeled Davis Chemical Trucking on the doors of the cabs. The semis in question are single axle pulling tandem axle tanker trailers, one per truck, and the trailers are loaded with chlorine gas. Now, if DCP 1ST Gear was to make a 1/64 replica of each of the trucks in question with a matching trailer to go with it, that would be nice, especially since it’s the kind of merchandise that possibly Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada could possibly get a royalty check on.
How soon until you can possibly do a video of the 1ST Gear 1/64 Peterbilt 351 with the vintage 40’FT trailer #.60-0437?
there is a lot of info about Greenstein out there. The husband of Shendel Greenstein passed about a year ago. Just google Greenstein Trucking/Pompano Beach, fl. Still have a lot of family in the Pompano/Ft. Lauderdale area.
I used to work for Polar Tank Trailer, glad those days are gone
Enjoy retirement.
Follow bunch rc semi trucks onnfacebook and wanted to know whats the desl a few guys putting these on their rc trucks but this guy presentation of them just flat sucks amd unwatchable with sound on.
Radio control or Royal Crown Cola?
Radio control 1/14 scale trucks worth a google/youtube look up.@@LindaCooper-i3f
Beautiful outfit. Thanks for sharing.
I got my start in trucking from BT.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I will forever love them.
I only have the Lonewolf model. Hopefully they make some more company trucks so I can add more to my collection.
I love it, the purple and that chrome is just 👌chef's kiss !!!
Don’t forget Hi Ballin . Was an awesome movie . Nice Kenworth cabover .
It’s got its own ambience.
Peterbilt and Kenworth always offered their own sleepers
More or less.
I remember crawling through the rear window in a B-73 Mack
Got any photos?
@@LindaCooper-i3fI will search in my photo collection, I may have a slide picture of that truck
Should be quite interesting.
I just found a ‘Sally, The Voice of 21st Century Shipping doll’ today that says Carolina Transportation Technology on the card. Is this a Carolina Freight item? If so, is there anything you can tell me about it’s history?
Big wheels rollin?😳 Jman
Those sleeper. We're. Stainless steel
Built out of aluminum. Stainless Steel is too heavy
Looks more like a titanium alloy to me.
But titanium alloy would be more economical.
@@LindaCooper-i3fDo you have any idea how much titanium costs? Mercury sleepers were made of aluminum. Some were polished and some not
Even so, a customizer like Barris Kustom Kars located in North Hollywood could possibly outfit a semi truck without a sleeper with one made of titanium alloy.
Very nice. I'm a 1/87 scale collector, so I can display them on my Ho scale railroad.
Very interesting. My oldest son is planning on a similar system with the train layout he’s been planning for years.
Those sleepers always reminded me of luxury railroad passenger cars and upscale Airstream travel trailer. Oh, and old skool diners, too! A real trip down memory lane. Thanks, Logan.
In what ways exactly?
The silver metal shine with the various patterns embosed to create an interesting visual effect with light reflected in unique ways. The airstream allure of adventure travel by personal vehicle stirs my wanderlust and independence to this day. But my travel trailer is a Vintage Cruiser that had the color scheme of diner interiors; turquoise and a creamy white. I call the look of it "old skool for an old fool."😂 Fond memories from my childhood in the 50s.🤗
If a customizing specialist like Barris Kustom Kars in North Hollywood had such an opportunity to convert a sleeperless semi truck with a sleeper built from a titanium alloy.
Nice
Yes indeed.
I had the same one when i was 16 in 1993. I loved the new Aerodyne trucks.. but my favorite was the fld , especially c.r. Englands flds in the early 90s.
do you have one with reefer trailer.
I dont mean to beat you up too bad. I remember you saying you arent a truck driver yourself and most of the ones today dont know much about the old rigs or really even care. But i do.
Trucks in the 70s didn't have cruise control. That didn't become a feature on trucks until the 80s. When electronic fuel pumps came to be. They did have a throttle lock which could be used like cruise control unless that's what you meant. Otherwise good video.
Very nice new tooling. The new w990 also looks pretty.
Now don't get me wrong I do really like this model, but I wish it had a short frame and smaller tanks so it looks closer the the actual truck.
For shorter fuel tanks, just swap with any of the fuel tanks from a DCP 1ST Gear 1/64 Kenworth K100, and it’s smooth sailing from there.
"California Cool" is hot! It is nice to know the family has adapted to the changing market while maintaining the obvious pride of ownership. Nice looking model that captures the spirit of this family business.
Would give anything to see DCP 1ST Gear releasing the Kenworth W900 in the image of Eleanor from the classic movie “THE LAST OF THE COWBOYS”; known here in the USA 🇺🇸 under the title of “THE GREAT SMOKEY ROADBLOCK” starring the late actor Henry Fonda.
Do you know where I can find one
Este debe valer mucho dinero 😂
I received an email from Awsome Die-cast about the new runs of BJ and the Bear K100 Tractor trailer, The Smokey and the Bandit W900 set for November 2024 release, and a Per- Production Sample of Sundance Movin On W900A. All are 1/43 on Iconic Replicas website. Iconic Replicas (COMING SOON)
I received another email today, and the pre-order of BJ and the Bear 1/43 has shipped. So if you don't pre-order one better, get one as long as they last.😊
Iconic Replicas is going to run another 1/43 BJ and the Bear tractor trailer cost is $99.95, Expected release date is November, 2024.
Holy Griswold!
Glad i read your comment, i just pre ordered
@titan-tm7kl I'm glad that their going to remake the BJ and the Bear K100 again. People buy them in bulk and sell them on eBay hundreds to rip people off.
@slagcat yep i hate scalpers ive wanted a bj truck for years but refused to pay hundreds and 1.64 is even worse for that sort of money so a 1:43 at a shop price is awesome
@titan-tm7kl I agree 👍 💯%. I'm glad that Iconic Replicas or Awsome Die-cast is more of the BJ and the Bear K100, Smokey and the Bandit and maybe the Sundance from Movin On made. I do have 1/64 BJ and the Bear semi tractor.

A truly unappreciated brand. Built in Garland Texas and were hand built. Love Marmon.
