Bruder is at the higher end of nicely detailed plastic toys. The are 1/16 th scale for the most part. The durability is second to none as far as toys go. My 4 1/2 year old has a dozen or so of the trucks and equipment, some of the pieces he had for about 2 1/2 years and has yet to break them, and yes they see sandbox duty regularly. They have a nice line of Mack granite trucks that a lot of guys are using the bodies for RC. PMD has a conversion for the Granite, check it out! Good luck!
