Sometimes it is very difficult to choose between wheels and tracks when you buy a piece of Earth moving equipment.

Take Jim for instance. He needs an excavator for a small construction project. What to get? Maybe we can help.

Jim what are you looking at? Jim said I am looking at the Komatsu PW180-11 wheeled excavator and the Komatsu PC210LC-11 tracked excavator. It seems to me that they could do my job. Only which one should I buy?

Each system provides certain features and performances. Moreover, each system has its strengths and weaknesses.

How would you like to own a SUV that could do 0 to 60 in 2.5 sec, do a ¼ mile in 9.9 sec., have a rating of 1,020 horsepower, have a top speed of 163 mph, and a cruising range of 340 miles?

Well, you can!! for a paltry sum of $121,990 dollars! Close in price to the of a top of the line Lincoln Navigator.

Oh, did I mention “eco-friendly”? Unlike the Lincoln Navigator.

The Tesla Model X is loaded with state of the art features such as: top hinged rear doors, two or three electric motors that provide on-demand all-wheel drive, performance-car acceleration, and many other features I will get to as this video unfolds.

The Tesla Model X is a crossover car. The X is a mid-size all-electric luxury SUV. Developed from the full-sized sedan platform of the Tesla Model S.

The prototype was unveiled at Tesla's design studios in Hawthorne, California on February 9, 2012. At that event, Tesla planned for deliveries to commence in early 2014.

In November 2013, Tesla issued an update about delays that said it expected to begin Model X Electric SUV production the second quarter of 2015 and deliveries began on September 29, 2015.

Other delays slowed production and deliveries of the Tesla Model X SUV, these delays were caused by design changes and improvements in the technology, batteries, and interiors.

I might add here that program upgrades continue for all Tesla cars whenever Tesla has a change or improvement that will benefit the owner of the vehicle. They are transmitted to the owner’s car by the cars cell phone.

Let’s look into the features of Tesla Model X SUV.

For centuries one and two wheel wheelbarrows were used to move personal property, construction materials, mining material etc.

Imagine, making a simple road cut and moving tons of dirt and rock with picks and shovels and wheelbarrows and carts to move the dirt and rock.

In the 21st Century we have heavy, off-road haul trucks that can move anywhere up to 500 tons of material.

Today I want to talk about the Caterpillar Construction Diecast Masters 1/64th scale construction model of the Cat 775E off highway dump truck. The 775E is one of a series of heavy haul trucks made by Caterpillar. It is an older truck which Caterpillar has replaced with the 775G heavy haul truck.

Heavy haul trucks have been divided into two classes. Both classes are rigid dump trucks. The regular class which are rated to carry up to 300 tons, and the Ultra class which can carry payloads in excess of 300 tons.

Most large size haul trucks employ two types of powertrains. The first is the conventional diesel engine and gear transmission. Caterpillar uses these on all their haul trucks. The other type is the Diesel-electric powertrains, using the Diesel engine to drive an AC alternator or DC generator that sends electric power to electric motors at each rear wheel.

An example of the regular class is the 775E CAT, a rigid dump truck specifically engineered for use in high-production small mining and quarrying operations, and heavy-duty construction projects. The 775 off highway dump truck was designed to efficiently move mountains of earth and rock.

Attention! Owner Operators!

Have a flatbed truck and looking for a load to haul? Try a third-party logistics provider, specializing in flatbed freight!

I am sure that all truckers that view my channel know about brokers and have differing opinions about them. But for the diecast semi trucks collectors that may not know about the freight brokerage system I want to give a brief explanation about them before I get to the owner operator Peterbilt 352 truck and Utility flatbed trailer product review in 1:64th Scale DCP by First Gear.

Flatbed trailers are selected when freight is not easily transported in an enclosed trailer due to its size or dimensions. Flatbed trailers allow for manual or crane loading and unloading from the top, back, and sides, making them a preferred choice for dimensionally challenged, time-sensitive deliveries or destinations without loading docks.

The Standard Oil Company has a long and colorful history. It began in 1863, John D Rockefeller, at the age of 24, joined with the Clark brothers and a chemist, Samuel Andrews, and started an oil refinery in Cleveland, Ohio. Within two years Rockefeller bought ought his partners and named the refinery “Standard Works”.

By 1870 Rockefeller and his brother William, along with Andrews, Henry Flagler, Oliver Burr Jennings and Stephen Harkness formed a new company, the Standard Oil Company in Ohio.

In his introduction to the abridged Norton’s edition of Tarbell’s The History of the Standard Oil Company, historian David Chalmers wrote:

“John D. Rockefeller and his associates did not build the Standard Oil Company in the broad rooms of Wall Street Banks and investment houses, water their stock and rig the market. They fought their way to control by rebate and drawback, bribe and blackmail, espionage and price cutting, and perhaps even more important, by ruthless, never slothful efficiency of organization and production.”

During the 1870s–1890s, Standard Oil absorbed many oil companies and established regional companies across the USA. In 1882, Rockefeller consolidated his dominance by transforming Standard Oil into a trust. Nine trustees managed the corporation on behalf of all shareholders. In 1885 the trust moved to New Jersey and opened another office in New York to manage overseas activities.

The court ordered break up of Standard Oil Company really began in 1890 when Senator John Sherman of Ohio initiated an anti-trust law in Congress:

Dump trucks have been around for several centuries. They range from simple dump carts to the first steam powered “tipper” to haul garbage, to the MEGA trucks used in open pit mines.

There are many shapes and sizes of dump trucks. But all of them have specialized uses.

This is a story of one of the many dump trucks/trailers and it usefulness in hauling material to construction sites.

It’s the “belly dump” or “bottom dump” truck and or trailers.

I said story because I could not find any info about Carl Walker Hauling out of Anchorage Alaska during the 60s. If someone out there knows anything about Carl Walker please let me know in the comments below. I would really appreciate any information that you could provide. Also please go on and join my YouTube family by subscribing!

To continue our story, the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake did considerable damage to Anchorage and surrounding countryside. In fact, the surface damage covered 185,000 square miles.

The same day the Good Friday quake hit Alaska my father charted a sailboat with a group of friends and sailed to Anacapa Island. The island is located in the Santa Barbara channel. They landed on the island and the sailboat departed. My father’s group spent the day and night on the island. Several members of the group noticed unusual tidal surges all Friday afternoon and commented that conditions were almost like tsunami conditions.

According to my father the group had a wonderful and restful, time exploring the island, a barbecue on the beach that night, and settled down for a peaceful night sleep.

During the night the tsunami hit the island around 4:30 am.

Kenworth, one of my favorite truck manufacturers, like so many other truck manufacturers came into being by someone buying or merging into another company.

Kenworth was no exception.

Gerlinger Motors of Portland, Oregon was a car and truck dealership owned by two brothers George T. Gerlinger and Louis Gerlinger Jr. The dealership was not enough for the Gerlinger brothers so in 1914 the brothers expanded into vehicle manufacturing.

The Gerlinger brothers began marketing a truck they named the “Gersix”. Their truck was powered by a inline six-cylinder engine. One of the first six-cylinder engines put in a truck. The truck was named the Gersix after the engine. The Gersix truck was framed in structural steel. The heavy-duty construction of the Gersix found itself in demand by loggers through the Northwest.

By 1916, Gerlinger Motors had outgrown its plant in Oregon. The plant was relocated to Tacoma, Washington.

The Gerling brothers leased a building from Edgar K. Worthington.

In 1917, Gerlinger Motors fell on hard times and filed for bankruptcy At that time Gerlinger was placed for sale.

E.K. Worthington saw a good deal, so he acquired the company with his business partner Captain Frederick Kent. They renamed the company the Gersix Motor Company.

In 1919 Harry Kent, his son, replaced Captain Kent, as a partner in the company on Sr. Kents retirement.

By 1922, Gersix Motor Company produced 53 trucks in its final year at its factory on Fairview Avenue at Valley Street.

By 1923, Gersix Motor Company had created a strong demand for the Gersix model line of trucks. With Gersix Motor Company success Gersix Motors was reincorporated as the Kenworth Motor Truck Company, thus, combining the names of partners Kent and Worthington.

The factory was once again relocated within Seattle to 506 Mercer Street and later to 1263 Mercer Street.

Wasn't that a colorful history, of how Kenworth came to be? Of course, that’s not the complete story. There are many more years of Kenworth history. But for now this will do.

Our story of Dodge’s Big Horn tractor must begin with the founding of Dodge automobile Company and the sale to Chrysler and Chrysler's exit from the heavy truck business.

Psst: You can buy a 64th scale model of a Dodge Big Horn tractor here: https://www.gltrucks.com/1973-dodge-cnt-950-big-horn-gold-with-red-stripes. I’ll talk more about it later on.

And please take a moment to subscribe and join my YouTube family to learn all about the best diecast models you need in your collection.

The story of Dodge's beginning began when Horace Dodge and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in Detroit in 1900, and quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city's growing number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the new Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A (1903–04) that included the complete chassis. Thus, Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars. Henry offered the Dodge brothers a 10% share in his new company in return for $10,000 worth of goods. That became one of the best deals Henry ever offered to any company.

Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan and obviously I’m not in Advantage Diecast’s warehouse today. I’m out to see a LPG storage tank farm.

Propane is a highly flammable gas and comes in steel cylinders or tanks. The movement of any propane cylinder or tank is fully regulated under the “Transportation of Dangerous Goods” (TDG) Regulations unless an exemption applies.

The use of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” as the shipping name implies, is intended for variety of liquid petroleum gases.

What is propane? How is it liquefied? And how is it transported?

I think it is important mention a little about LPG-PROPANE. Propane is not made or manufactured, it is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons. Propane has a boiling point of -42 degrees Centigrade.

In its liquid state it has a temperature of Negative 188 degrees Centigrade or Negative 306.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's really cold.

Propane expands to 270 times the volume when it goes from liquid to gas.

So, 1 Liter of liquid propane will expand to 270 Liters of gaseous propane.

That's really a lot of gas.

Further, in its gaseous state propane is heavier than air and will tend to hug the ground.

Propane is transported in a liquid state under strict regulations. Unlike natural gas, which is delivered via pipeline, propane is transported under pressure by tank car, tanker ship, transport truck and local delivery trucks better known as bobtails.

What’s up my 64th Gear Jammers? I’m Logan the founder of Advantage Diecast and I’m out here at this old gas station to talk about a Greenlight Building and the Pure Oil Company.

Also you can get many of the Greenlight Collectibles buildings on my website https://www.farmtoysandmore.com

Our story about the Pure Oil Company begins with its founding in 1914. Before that Three oil companies operating in the United States have used the Pure Oil name.

The first of the three companies began in the fall of 1895 as a group of independent oil refiners, producers, and pipeline operators.

Setting up in Butler, Pennsylvania, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, although it was incorporated in New Jersey.

The Pure company was organized by independent interests to counter to the dominance of Standard Oil Company in the Pennsylvania oil fields and was the second oil company (after Standard) in the region. Operations were based in Oil City, Pennsylvania. David Kirk was elected the first president. He was succeeded in 1896 by James W. Lee. Pure Oil sold illuminating oil in Philadelphia and New York City.

The second company: the Pure Oil Producing Co. was incorporated in 1902. In 1904 a refinery was built on the Delaware River which received 600 barrels per day from the United States Pipe Line. This increased to 1,800 barrels per day.

The third Pure company began when Beman Gates Dawes, his brothers, and partner Fletcher Heath whose Columbus-based Ohio Cities Gas Company which had begun in 1914 made an offer of $24.50 a share for the Pure Oil Producing Co. Dawes was building an Oklahoma refinery, and Pure Oil had production capabilities there which would benefit his company. The Pennsylvania company accepted the offer.

In 1920, Ohio Cities Gas Company's name changed to Pure Oil. In 1926, the headquarters moved to Chicago. Refineries were located in Ohio, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan Founder of Advantage Diecast, and I’ve got a vintage DG Productions model to review today after a bit of history on Swift Transportation. DG Productions made detailed 1:64th Scale diecast trucks in the days before Diecast Promotions made 1:64thscale trucks.

But first please make sure to subscribe and grab my report on Tips for valuing your collection with the link in the description below.

Thanks to all my subscribers. You guys are the best!

On October 10, 1966, a new truck line began. This trucking company was destined to become one of the largest truck lines in history.

Swift Transportation began operation by transporting imported steel from the port of Los Angeles to Arizona. On the turnaround they transported Arizona cotton to Southern California.

Founded by Jerry Moyes, the original company operated under the name of Common Market. The Swift name was purchased from the Swift Meat Packing Family later on and the truck line name was changed to Swift Transportation.

Jerry Moyes along with his father Carl Moyes, brother Ronald Moyes, and Randy Knight built Swift Transportation into a multi-million dollar business. When Jerry’s father Carl passed away, Jerry Moyes became the sole owner of Swift Transportation.

In last Thursday’s video I talked about the history of electric vehicles and reviewed models of Tesla cars. If you missed it is episode 5 and you can find it here https://youtu.be/G3w91fDCE7Y

In this video I am going to continue with the history of Tesla Inc. and review the Tesla Semi models made by Matchbox.

Founded in July 2003 as Tesla Motors, the company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

Elon Musk, who contributed most of the funding in the early days, has served as CEO since 2008. According to Musk, the purpose of Tesla is to help expedite the move to sustainable transport and energy obtained through electric vehicles and solar power.

I assume most of you are familiar with the Tesla cars, having seen one on the road or on YouTube.

However, we have only seen the Tesla Semi in pictures and on YouTube.

Maybe if you live in the Fremont California area you might have caught a glimpse of the red Tesla Semi running down the road with a flatbed loaded with concrete blocks. However, this unit is only for real world testing and not in commercial transport at the time of this video.

In my previous videos episode ~ GMC 7500 steel tilt cab tandem axle tractor (https://youtu.be/RAToaZAsYao) and episode ~ Chevy Steel tilt cab single axle tractor (https://youtu.be/xttTaiK21pU) I described the Chevy & GMC tilt cab trucks and the many uses the truck was put to. So, see these episodes on my channel if you missed them.

Of course, I am going to do a product review on the 1:64thScale truck by Neo Scale Models: 1960 Chevrolet Tilt-Cab Box Truck for A&P Supermarkets, but first I thought it would be interesting and different to talk about what the truck was hauling and a little about the company it was hauling for.

If you noticed the thumbnails the company logo was on the sides of the truck. The logo represented “The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company” or “A&P” for short. As many of you know A&P was the grocery company that was responsible for the modern supermarkets we shop in today.

The A&P story began way back in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Francis Gilman had a brilliant marketing plan for selling tea. Why not market tea using the mail. By using the mail to deliver the tea George and Francis could sell their tea at discount prices. Brilliant!

WOW!.... When I researched Tesla, I sort of fell down a rabbit hole. I thought this would be a single video about the Tesla Semi, but I soon realized that I had way too much interesting information.

So, I decided to do a two-part video series. The first part is about the history of electric vehicles up to the release of the Tesla Roadster. The second part is about Tesla Inc. and the Class 8 Tesla Semi.
