t is quite mixed up in this species.

In my opinion a movie car is a car shown on the screen in a movie or TV series.

A TV car ensures that the images are sent. see the BBC broadcasting models.

your opinion?

I think it was originally intended to separate cars that appear in the movies and cars that appear in TV shows (Kojak, Starsky & amp; Hutch). However, they ran into problems with the Batman series, of which films have also been made.

There must indeed be a clear separation and I agree with oki-doki that there is just a category of film and film. TV series cars must come and a separate category of TV cars, as mentioned above.

And when you have decided, make a very clear description with the Background pages, of course;)!

done some homework ... The English call it a 'Broadcasting vehicle'.

NL translation: 'Broadcasting vehicle' ...

hmmm I have something like that in mind of a passenger car with horns on the roof that has a (e.g .: advertising or political ) message drives through the residential area. But this may be the correct name.

Another idea is something with technology in it, for example 'technical vehicle', with a clear description in the new info block with the brands / types etc. by the way ... new possibility a great upgrade! A lot of clarity can be created with this.

Or as DisneyMeentwijc indicates above, a TV car with a separate entry for broadcasting / technology / broadcast and one for TV series.

edit ... just shoot me remember that here every Saturday a fish van with horns on the roof drives through the street, echoing: Haaaring, Lekkerbekkies, Vette Mackreeeeel !!! ;)

As oki-doki explains the difference in his first post, the divorce will be made for this in the first instance. These areas are too confusingly close to each other.

As a result, cars that play in films and vehicles that transmit image material are being introduced into both areas.

We must now be able to make that clear separation with the info block next to the type. As oki-doki and DisneyMeentwijck indicate the layout, I fully agree. As a start in terms of classification / name, below a short explanation.

I would suggest:

The vehicles that appear in TV series or in films 'Film / TV cars' (in English Movie cars). With a description.

The vehicles that transmit the TV images can be called 'Reportagewagen' (in English Broadcoast / Mobile production verhicle). Also with description.

Vehicles with those horns on the roof should be of their own kind. These should be given the type 'Omroep car' (in English Loudspeaker car / verhicle).

Of course shooting is allowed! :)

If these are Dinky Toys, I assume that they were done in one color and that they were not intended for painting yourself?

In that case I think there are two photos too many and that become separate items?

When I look at the history of that item, it was only 1 car and that color has just disappeared in the new images. That means that there are already 4 cars in that series. Adding to the mentioned red-brown and black speakers, it already makes 5.

It is strange that an administrator has approved these changes. (??)

And while browsing through the vans I came to the conclusion that the blue was already there under number 2789659 or is that the older version of this blue one? It cannot be checked, because there is no image of the bottom, unfortunately.

I also encountered this twice, namely at 1597001 and at 1560095. There are also 3 different ones in 1 image. Or can sets be made here, just like with stamps? Because then 2366193 is correctly entered. I think you could buy them as a set.

To my knowledge, this agreement was never made in this section and sets may only be entered if the packaging is shown to prove that it was a set.

Indeed. If they are issued in color variants then they must be entered separately.

To my knowledge, this agreement was never made in this section and sets may only be entered if the packaging is shown to prove that it was a set.

Indeed. In any case, it is not the intention to just enter multiple model cars on 1 photo.

@baron, time could be short. Last talked about a collector, he is also active within this section and has offered himself as a manager, has had no reaction to it. Also a lack of time? Seems more like a missed opportunity! Motivated managers are of survival importance.

Oh well, I think there is a stop on the request for administrators. Have already registered for various sections, but received no answer (not even rejections!). Administrators are currently very busy and are getting busier due to the ever-growing membership and input of items. 1 manager still had 1,900 items on the to-do list. That seems like a lot to me and incorrectly entered items lead to incorrect examples.

Furthermore, I never think a lack of time is a good excuse to fill in something incorrectly. Then don't fill it in and fill it in if you have more time. But maybe sellers use this as an argument to place their item quickly and easily? (Or am I not allowed to report that?)

Hmmm, I saw this discussion just a little too late

Among other things, I have quite a lot of TV and Film (movie) models and have already entered quite a few of them.

Obviously in the category movie car or in the category TV car

It is then quite frustrating when you want to check some things and suddenly everything turns out to have changed categories, which made imho a mess because cars that clearly in a TV series suddenly appear as a movie car.

Now it appears that there is an active discussion about it.

In my opinion, it is correct there is just nothing of all those categories.

There are far too many categories that are also used haphazardly.

I think it would be good if the categories were deleted would be and only new categories can be created by a moderator to avoid sprawl.

In addition, it might be good to limit the possibility of changes. .

I understand that this goes against the wiki principle, but then it simply has to be possible to moderate much more actively.

For example, I have already experienced that a model brand was changed while it was noted in the description that it was precisely the model brand that made the model special.

I have now used 150 models of myself and that is on a few percent of my collection of models, but on this one way it doesn't really get going of course ....

I think it would be good if the categories were deleted and new categories could only be created by a moderator.

Creating a new type has already been locked, this could previously be done by anyone, and can now only be done by the administrators.

another row of double species;

  • Fantasy car vs Fiction
  • Friction vs Pullback [Stays... difference has been shown by antonieq ]
  • Tanker vs Tank trucks
  • Forklift vs Forklift Trucks
  • Kinder Surprise vs Surprise egg
  • remote control remote control. (57 items) vs "Radio Controlled / Radio Control RC" (25 items) vs "Rc Model Cars" (3 items)

These last... three species that I think can be combined in one.

Kinder Surprise vs Surprise egg is not a double kind. Kinder Surprise is a Surprise egg from the Ferrero company. But there are also other brands of surprise eggs,

@ Nicole-a

Why not the two under one denominator then? In this way it is quite confusing. As in; a surprise egg from the Ferrero brand and a surprise egg from other brands

@Seicilindri

Also a confusing resemblance of (translated) words in the types, because the word 'Friction 'is in Dutch and' Fiction 'is in English.

-

And what do you think of the other species in this list? It is now clear that there are more users who find the species a mess.

Oh yes, one more ... 'Vehicles'. I have already cleaned this one, because if you think about it ALL models fall under this heading, an unnecessary kind in my opinion.

Yes it could, but Kinder Surprise is a well-known brand that people search for. And in all other sections where Ferrero figures are, Kinder Surprise has now also been introduced. That is in the theme fields, but model cars again does not have a theme field.

And in other sections there is again surprise egg and not surprise egg.

@ Oki-doki,

As far as I know, there is a difference in Friction and Pullback.

You can make a car with Friction drive by letting it make contact with the ground a few times, for example.

A car with Pullback can be driven by as far as it gears allow to make rearward contact with, for example, the ground.

In other words Friction work forward, Pullback backward.

thanks for the input guys!

one more ...

I'm cleaning and discover that there are many trucks with trailers.

I put some in the hangers but I'm not sure I'm indicating the right kind with them now. maybe it is useful to create a suitable type for semi-trailers?

'Semi-trailer' Is this the same as a trailer?

Then the question arises whether something in the form of 'Cabins' should be ...

more to come ...

I think I understand ... a Cabine truck with trailer or low loader (with a pivot point which I confused with a trailer) belongs to the 'Transport wagon' type.

and the trucks have a one-piece chassis.?

A semi-trailer has a tow truck with no cargo space on it.

A trailer has a box truck in front of it, that is, it has a cargo space behind its cabin.

The box truck has 1 chassis, and the tractor has 1 chassis. The semi-trailer and trailer have a separate chassis.
