European Trucks?

So, as I prepare for the NMRA convention this year, I am trying to get some consists finished. Yesterday I was able to get the last 4 cars for my rollende landstraße. Now I need to populate the last 6 cars with appropriate trucks. I'm looking for Modern, European style trucks. I have had a hard time finding any from a US or Canada source. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes: http://www.en.dm-toys.de/liste/tags_en/sattelschlepper_en.html  That URL filters just "trailers" but you should also check other categories. Just check one category at a time as the filter seems to AND not OR the selections.

DM-Toys is super easy to deal with, the exchange rate is quite favorable at this time and they take Paypal.  Plus they carry items not distributed in U. S.

EDIT:  What is also really good about DM Toys is their real-time inventory.  Almost like MB Klein's: If it is not in stock, you will not see the green dot.  That can't be said for the several U.S. based European model dealers (like Reynaulds or Eurolokshop).  They show and let you buy models which can be years away from being available.

I second DM... really good customer service. I have also had good experience with http://www.reynaulds.com/n-scale.aspx.

Be aware that buying anything from a Euro supplier is dirt cheap right now due to the favorable exchange rate. I bout an engine from DM for $100 that would have cost over $220 from any US based importer.
