I just found out that Yatming is closing its doors. In fact, this happened last summer and the remaining stock is being sold off. So, this is sad news. Yatming made some OUTSTANDING models, especially their Fire Truck Series - some were call Road Signatures, or Signature. I have quite a few of them in my collection, and I will be taking some individual pictures of them soon. They are beautiful, well detailed heavy and were at a great price for the quality. They rival and out do the mints in a lot of places. The happy news in all of this is that they may be available at some close out stores, so you guys keep a sharp eye out for them! Remember, Franklin Mints 1/24th scale cars and trucks were available at "Tuesday Morning" stores a number of years ago - most of them were between $9.99 and $19.99!!! I bought as many as I could at the time, but didn't realize what a tremendous find that was at the time. I was just getting back into collecting!
Here is a quick shot of some of my Yatming Fire Trucks.... they are at the top in the center.....
More to come..

Yes, I have quite a collection! I have only one tractor trailer in 1/24 1/25, it is a bullnosed GMC Budweiser tractor trailer, but its actually a 10 wheeler. Made by Ertl in the 80s..I will take some photos, you will love it! Think Red Ball Express!
