Hi Woodsy
Regarding Hot Wheels rigs, one of my earlier purchases was this Car-nival Steamer.
It is basically a Hot Rod version of a Traction Engine, towing a large trailer (the body tips up, and can be attached to a length of Hot Wheels track), and comes with a regular Hot Wheels Mainline model which can fit inside the trailer. In this case, the Pedal Driver first released in 2015.
The Car-nival Steamer came out in 2018, although the copyright date on the base of the model is 2017. Marked Made in Thailand. There have been two colour versions. Red and blue, with yellow wheels and a silver boiler, as a circus vehicle.
My example is purple and cerise, with green wheels and a black boiler - the Hot Wheels Wiki entry describes this as a Halloween finish. Overall length just over 190 mm.
The other five vehicles in this series are normal trucks and semi-trailers, with a car. Hot Rods are not my usual subject, but how could I resist such a bizarre model - there can not be too many Hot Rod Traction Engines about.
