Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA - TWH Collectibles announced today the addition of the new Kenworth T908 Prime Mover liveries to the Drake Collectibles line of scale models. This follows the recent appointment of Drake Collectibles as the TWH Licensed Distributor of Australia and New Zealand.

“We are excited to partner with Drake Trailers, an outstanding company not only in the manufacturing of world-class trailers, but also the distribution of museum class replicas,” says Nicholas Neumann, V.P. of Sales and Marketing for TWH Collectibles. “Drake Collectibles continues to do an excellent job bringing the full TWH line to collectors and industry enthusiasts, and the line of Drake replicas has proven to be a valuable addition to Drake’s marketing plan…further substantiating TWH’s goals to produce models with the purpose of selling real machines.”

The most recent release of Kenworth T908 scale models follow the success of the Kenworth T908 with Drake Trailer Swingwing series. The 1:50 scale prime movers are available in several company liveries and colors and are now available for purchase.

“Drake originally became involved in scale models because many of our customers are avid diecast collectors,” says Bruce Hay of Drake Trailers. “In response to increasing requests for diecast models of Drake trailers, we are now 18 months into our journey to produce trucks and trailers and set up a distribution network for the TWH range throughout Australian and New Zealand.”

Those companies interested in carrying the Drake Collectibles line or becoming a TWH Collectibles retailer in Australia or New Zealand can contact the Drake Shop at www.thedrakeshop.com.
