very nice! I like the REA trucks who makes the building there sitting at? 

Scratch built using foam board for the walls, floors and roof.  Docks are blocks of wood, windows from Pecos River Brass.

Walthers HO REA Transfer Building from kit.  I used this to design ours.  John in Lansing, ILL

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.

very impressive!

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

A few that populate my layout...

Here are a few reworked, repainted or weathered...

Around my small layout...no weathering yet.
