I know some my already know but the reason I haven’t been very active here is because I’m recovering from Covid and Pneumonia in both lungs. Please bare with me because I’m have some post Covid symptoms like short of breath. There thinking my lung tissues have been damage but who knows in time will tell.
Your stuff looks great keep posting  we made it to 50 pages I’m happy about that I didn’t think this tread would make it pass 10 when I start it. There’s just something about restoring old toys and change them up a little I understand stand the thrill you guys are experiencing.  Thanks for your support here to keep this thread going.

👍😉  Lee, I am happy to hear you are feeling and doing better.  I was wondering where you were'... Please continue to take it easy.  You'll be of the DL bench before you know it.  In the meantime, we'll keep the thread going for you. It is a favorite by many, so don't worry'.. Can't wait to see your beautiful truck builds and conversions'... 😉👌🚚🚛🚍

Thank you all you guys keeping this going. Hope I get some mojo to start building again.

Paul. I like that station the tires out front set it off well

rpmcobra those Winross trucks look good on those flats.

Ted. Thanks for stepping up and keeping this going. I would like to see you restore that Cannonball GMC. I was thinking of building one of my resin one this year.

Mike'... don't get discouraged.  Forget Corgi, not many bargains on those.  But Dinki has plenty, you must have patience and go through all the pages.  The quickest way is to start at the very last page, and then work backwards'....... You'll find the right one for you.  Don't bother with France or Great Britain... Too expensive....  The new ones from China are spin offs of the real thing.  Not bad for fillers on the layout, but no good for restores....

Good luck hunting'..

Thanks Ted, I will give that a try! LOL

Mike there’s also a option that goes from the lowest with shipping to the highest that’s just how I do it on eBay and find lots of bargains

The fire chief showed up at the accident scene in his '51 Chevy (just added to the layout)

Great scene paul'... Love those 51 Chevys....  👍😊

Hi Paul, I am with Ted, but one problem. I don't see any accident all I see is some cop trying to get a phone number of some hot dame! LOL

Now here is an accident!

LOL! Mikeg.  You just brightened my day. 

After I tackle some challenging weekend school work (AKA "the dissertation"), I hope to photograph my newly arrived 2012 Dodge Charger R/T to share with you all.

Thanks for the entertaining break. I needed that.

TRRR

Lee thanks, if you look behind the Aid Car on the left you will see a red tow truck, but it is to small for these box trucks!

Here are some of my Diecast cars and trucks,not from China

Mike. Ok I see it now Joe is on standby

Mikey. Wow what a impressive 30-40s vehicle collection. Thanks for sharing it

Mikey, Lee is correct, very IMPRESSIVE collection!

Here's a nice Corgi VW Type 2 which, unfortunately, is really only at home on a British-themed layout, because of the London address on the side, the cargo loading doors on the left side of the body, and the right-hand drive. Anybody have such a home for it?  It has a couple of chips to the paint but otherwise is in fine shape. The body is riveted to the chassis. Let's see pics of where you would place it.

Nobody on this forum has a british-outline layout or knows of someone who does, that could provide a home for this VW?

Update: found a home for it.

Guys. Just seen this the other day on Atlantis web site. Now we have glass for or White 3000 trucks!

Hey Mikey, who manufactures those fine 40’s vehicles?

Looks like some are ‘30’s as well.  Very nice!

Mike, you make a good point!   Great scene above!

Mikey, nice collection of "era' vehicles...

Just added the yellow GT 500 and the British Racing Green Jag "XKE" to the layout just in time for the rally!  Still putting the finishing touches on the scenery and parking lot striping.

Anyone remember the advertising slogan of "Hi neighbor, have a Gansett" from the Narragansett Brewing Company many years ago?  Note the Atlas "special run" car in background
