Like member PJ100001's find pictured a couple posts back, this one has the holes in the wheels and because of what is written under the chassis I have to assume its real but I am not exactly sure what it means. What do you all think?
Question: Did Mattel use the triangle screw heads? I always assumed that was an Asian thing.

2009 Mattel

Again my many thanks to T-Real 😊
This is very interesting! It looks better than most fake Trackmaster rolling stock. The triangle screws where used at least for the locomotives, I don't know if they were used for trucks.
Most counterfeit Trackmaster rolling stock uses the spoked wheels design but this particular egg dye uses the normal truck wheels design. Fascinating!

Updated image showing me replacing the couplings with black ones and swapping out the wheels with the holes in them with solid black ones without holes. Looks pretty good to me.
