    Just a few odds and ends I've picked up over the years. I love the chain tracks on the Dinky tank in particular. Little details like that bring so much live to a toy like this.

    Also a lot of love goes to the rubber auburn tank. Can never resist a chance to give those things some much needed attention!

      Thanks for sharing your Auburn Rubber tank, never saw one before.

      There are actually two versions of this tank, one is 4 1/2" long (like mine) and the other is smaller at 3 1/4". Both are called "Marmon-Herrington" and appear to be the CTL-1 tank. Marmon-Herrington made a bunch of neat little tanks that you don't hear much about, if you are into that kinda thing.

      Sun Co made a neat tank too, still don't have one of those though. I think those are really neat because they are modeled fairly accurately after American M2 Medium tanks.
