I received my 33657 Lumber Truck from Germany a couple weeks ago and it is quite lovely:

The red plastic covering, which models the flatbed tarps used to protect shipments from the weather, is a really nice touch. The red plastic cover is a snug, but not tight fit so it stays on when you put it on. It won’t fall off accidentally.

The flatbed is very similar to the 33696 Lumber Loading Wagon, though the wheel bases are unpainted and the wheels themselves are the more traditional black used by BRIO on vehicles. And like all the modern-day BRIO trucks, the cab of the semi pivots forward to reveal the engine block.

On curious detail, though is the hole in the wheel base of the semi (for the pivoting of the “fifth wheel” coupling) is bored all the way to the axle:

The flatbed’s pivot joint doesn’t actually go all the way down so it doesn’t drag on the axle as the truck moves, but I thought it was weird that it was (unnecessarily) drilled that deep.

Anyway, overall? This is a pretty nice vehicle. Another top-notch accessory from BRIO. If you’ve been on the fence about this one, trust me: you want it.
