These are just so kool , you are lucky to find and in such good condition too. The Truck with the Rocket and double drop deck trailer that cab is a Kenworth Aerodine the raised roof made it more aerodynamic because the box or refers are taller and that raised roof push air up over trailers. I'm a retired Truck Driver drove for 25yrs here in the states but was looking into going to AUSTRALIA and pull Truck train but your trucks are right hand drive and I didn't think an old dog could learn new tricks so I past it up. Very Very nice posting and so kool you came across them 👍👍👍👍😎🍻✌️👋
I have the same trucks but its made by hotwheels they are all metal including the stacks & base and they comes with a rotating mechanism thingy at the back of the trailer that will make the front cab steer left & right
Use heat to straighten the stack. Not a lot of heat, but it can be done. Edit; Never seen that before with the crumbling of the plastic. Correction heat would never work. Really ashame those are some mint trucks. I love the convoys I have many but after the internet came along I realized I would never find them all. Especially since different countries had many different models.
BUMCC, this was a great video - Mom bought a lot of these for us. It's a shame that in 2024 we can't get half decent trucks from both HW or Matchbox. The 'Collector' model that was put out last year was lacking and they've done nothing since. Not sure why the extra axle is such a dealbreaker for them although HW with their fake plastic axle is the worst by far! 🤣🤣 Side note, do you any of the 'Connectables' from the late '80s/early '90s?
Very common for the chrome exhaust stacks to crumble to bits with those Convoys if they have been exposed to UV light or heat over the years.Wonder if there maybe someone making reproduction parts of them somewhere online?

Greetings from Poland!
Oh man bummer on the exhaust. My favorite was the boat. Thanks and have a great weekend.
Wow ,I love all of them
So jealous! Wish I was the one uploading this video!!
The gasoline trailer on that first Convoy truck read SUPERGAS.
I always get super gas after eating TACO BELL lol😅
You got a sweet deal, T! Never seen those exhaust stacks crumble like that before, must be an Australian thing ;-)
Had that happen to some of my convoys considering there 40 years old
Had some of my convoys do the same thing considering these are 40 years old

Nice bunch of Convoys! Shame about the three Kenworths. Never seen that Linfox livery before.
I played with them when a child but the chrome effect came of the wheels very quick but they where good.
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.

You started off so well, then it all just went to pieces.
😂
wow i have so many of these in the box mint (no sun)…
I wonder if anyone 3d prints exhausts for those.
I think you have already showed theses at least the first 2 i know before
Happy to destroy 30 years old toys.
Reminds me of my grand nephew who crushes every sand castle that he sees on the beach.
I agree if he would let it alone and quite touching it
