My dad and I found those old toys at the Northeast Georgia Swapmeet at the Atlanta Dragway last December. We also got the two slot mags there, so it was a pretty good trip.

The green truck is a replica of a truck manufactured by WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Company), also known as LeTourneau, that was used to transport earth moving equipment manufactured by WABCO in Toccoa. The yellow toy is one of the machines made in Toccoa. My great grandpa was a shift foreman at the plant in Toccoa, and during WWII, my grandma worked in WABCO's office while my grandpa made artillery casings. With all the family history, my dad wanted them as soon as he saw them.
