Hey guys, what scale are Nylint trucks in?
I see a lot of semi trucks that were made by a company called Nylint, but there's no scale indicator and since I don't have one for comparison, I wondered it any of you guys could tell me. Nylint 1 16 1 18 Dollar General Semi Truck Trailer No Box Classic Freightliner | eBay Something like this. |

According to the listing, it's 26 inches long. It's much smaller than 1:18. If my math isn't incorrect, a 60 foot long truck (a rough length for an eighteen wheeler) would be about forty inches long.
Edit: Oh to more fully answer your question, I believe the one you linked to is about 1:28 scale. Last edited by KP Viper; 11-09-2015 at 09:01 AM.. |

I had some of these as a kid and yes they are Joe scale. I used to play with them with my Fisher Price Adventure People all the time. None of the ones I owned had any opening doors or anything like that (so you couldn't put figures inside the cab) but they would be perfect for dioramas or display pieces

[QUOTE=Snakeeyesisposh;4886895]Hmmm, I don't think I will ever find a toy truck that is 3 foot 4 inches. Thanks though, if the truck isn't the right scale, I might have to make a semi for the store and I'll try out your measurements.[/QUOTE
I'm not sure if this helps you, but Ertl makes a 1/16th scale Peterbilt semi that's pretty impressive. In person it looked to be between 3 and 4 feet long with the trailer attached. It's all plastic, had opening doors, and lots of other details. I believe it only comes with a grain trailer though. There might be a version with a lowboy trailer. I'll try to find it and post a link.

Forgot to mention that the Ertl Transtar from the Ebay link is a smaller metal cab and trailer similar size to the Nylint the OP asked about. I have one similar from when I was a kid.
The much newer Ertl "Big Farm" 1/16th series is what you need to look for if you want something close to Joe scale with opening doors and such.

Here's a short youtube video of someone showing some of the features of the cab.
