Thanks for the additional pictures Dave, I must admit, I've never heard of Diamond Rio before. Cheers,

Rowan.

Fantastic the cab over is one of the nicest looking trucks i have ever seen
if any model company was ever to build all these old timers in 1/50 i would buy everyone of them
i have some nice ones in 1/64 scale.

I haven't seen any Diamond Reo trucks in years. That is a very nice cab over.

5 years ago when I was working in Columbus, there were a few old Brockways still running around. Amazing how long iron will last if you take care of it

Nice pics, a local company used to have a fleet of Diamond Reo Giants cement mixers. They where auctioned off, and several remain as water trucks.





The life and death of a former cement mixer. Now used for parts.

A nice view of the Deutz air-cooled engine with the hood off on that last shot.

Great shots Dave. Funny, but the conventional Diamond T has a look of a KW T800 if you changed the grill and removed the corner turn signal. Still in style! Thanks, DanielD
