Nice do you have any O Scale pics
John
very nice! I like the REA trucks who makes the building there sitting at?
1/43 custom painted
I recently got a Matchbox '40 Ford pickup that had long avoided my clutches. If Matchbox had made a '40 Chevy pickup, or any Chevy pickup back to 1930, l would be hunting them...they did make a 1941, which l bet is common on steam/diesel transmission layouts. I mentioned elsewhere on here that Brooklin has offered a '34 Chevy. I hope they do a series of Chevies, like their Buick series, which have shown up discounted. I need to post a photo of pickups, which include some bashed ones, such as Hallmark, but right scale. (uh, if you accept 1/43)

Yes!! By all means post those pic of your 1/43 scale vehicles. Have you tried neo or white box? Seems like there’s a explosion of 1/43 vehicles now, and thanks for posting

Very nice
I live in the country on 5 acres and I told my self I had to put a farm scene somewhere on my layout . I see you used some Ertl buildings I have the same ones and they blend in nice. The service station looks awesome I guess one of my favorites is your Diamond T with the load of Christmas Trees. Thank you posting.

never thought to use foam board you did a great job on it. I may have to try making a freight terminal like your if you don’t mine thanks for posting
These are some of the first vehicles I purchased during the early stages of construction of my 10'-by-5' layout.

Is that a 1949 of 1950 Ford very nice I’ve been looking to buy one of those
Remember when AMT made 1/43 models? Here’s some Pete’s I was working on this summer these will be “shelf queens” when finished. I painted the New Ray cattle trailer white and hooked it to one of those Pete’s I’m working on and I also put a New Ray Iron Nose peterbilt on a AMT Peterbilt frame and gave it some upgrades enjoy the pics
Around my small layout...no weathering yet.

I like what you did upgrading those old toosietoy trucks with Don Mills wheels and tires and adding sides to those old box vans and upgrading the pick ups very nice

Very nice I like that Missouri highway patrol car. That’s a nice approach and crossing also on your layout
DaveP posted:A few that populate my layout...
I like those fire trucks

The cars are nice but I'm more fascinated by the box which went through the Sverdlovsk District of the Russian Post Office!!!
MELGAR
Yep, got 'er on eBay a few years back, and that's where it came from!

Wow. A fleet of Borden Divcos!
LOL! That "car" in the left front would fit in with my layout perfectly!
Willises? These are great looking models.
