Freightliner Century Class S/T-

Today, I am going to review Freightliner Century Class S/T with Mount Rushmore Theme. This diecast truck is made at 1:32 scale by NewRay HK. Please check the measurement below. This Freightliner Century Class comes with 18 wheels. 10 wheels with the cab and 8 wheels with the trailer. As shown in the picture, the cab has sleeper cell with 4 window on each side and one window at the top. However, only the top window is see through while side windows are just an etched window-like-frame .

You can open both doors of the cab to see the interior. I have to say the interior has quite a finish in black. With two seats, dashboard and a steering wheel. A gear shift can also be seen between the seats. Unlike other diecast trucks, you can not open the trunk.

Apart from this, the diecast truck has very good details including chrome color wheels and stepping platforms. The trailer is made of high impact plastic and can be opened from the back. The two doors of the trailer opens side wide.

A big imprinted decal on the trailer is showing Sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, respectively. The monument represent the first 150 years of the history of the United States- in case some of us do not remember history from the Junior high. Also shown a insignia of South Dakota.

Recently, Newray made just one change in 2009 version of this diecast truck. The imprinted decal has now background of American Flag which goes up to the roof of the trailer. Here is the picture of new version of Mount Rushmore toy truck.





Approximate Measurements:

• The full truck including the trailer: 22.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 inches
  
• Diecast Cab : 10 x 5 x 3.5 inches
• The toy truck trailer (High impact Plastic) : 15 x 5.5 x 3.5 inches

The very striking thing I noted about this diecast truck is its old rugged look- as it was sitting on my table -while still attached in the confinement of inner packaging-I can not ignore to appreciate its sleek design and miniature body with its one exhaust pipe and a head light on each side of the bumper. The Orange color of the cab is also giving a pleasing contrast with its white roof.


The cab is built in a way which provides a true feeling of old truck body with thick metal sheet. The sleek nose of the cab is far stretched, I guess in those time, engines were thin and long.

The trailer is made of plastic and has the color of green. I think, they tried to make the trailer looks like wood which is painted in green with wood-grains-like-effect on the flatbed surface.

The trailer also has 6 hay bales load on the flatbed. The bales are removable. One thing I really missed is that the doors of the cab are not open able.

• Approximate length of the truck is 15 inches, from front of the cab to back of the trailer.
• Exact length of the cab (only) is 6.25 inches.
• Exact length of the Trailer (only) is 11 inches.
• Exact length of the gift box is 18 inches- (in case you want to know)
• The diecast truck has 18 wheels - 1 inch in diameter.
• Scale 1:43
