That's a lot of deals he needs to make. No pun intended.

Looks like a great turnout Paul! I bet everyone is living it up before Fall really gets here! Wonderful shot!
The Twin Pines Resort and Supper Club is having a soft open to make sure food and service is up to north woods standards.
This is a section I have been working on. Just needs additional detail, but that can wait until other sections are presentable. In no particular order the vehicles are: Solido 1950 GMC Sedan; Solido Packard Super Eight; Jat Ming 1948 Ford Woody 1:43; Jat Ming 1950 GMC Pickup 1:43; Italian made Lincoln Continental. I picked up a bunch of these at auction several years ago but first time on the layout.

Jeff, those are some great looking cars folks have driven to Twin Pines!
Some busses. First bus is a French model that approximates a Chicago old look bus.
Second bus is a toy bus customized as a trolley bus.
3rd bus is a 1:43 scale Routemaster bus.

Jeff, with customers driving Packards and Lincolns the Twin Pines is catering to a lofty clientele.

Paul the season's not over yet, we've got a big MOPAR only show coming up in a couple of weeks.

Well maybe they are just cars collectors like we collect trains. But really all are welcome to enjoy the North Woods .

Oh no! We were hoping for more great car rallies, Paul!!

Paul great pic and yes it’s the end of season. I’m finally caught up on my farm and time to get to the Layout. I want to thank you so much for keeping my thread going strong. If it wasn’t for you and the gang it might have died. Once again Thank You!

Jeff that’s a beautiful pic. Thanks for sharing.
@lee drennen Thanks Lee, Its taken awhile to get to this point. I have a bunch more cars and trucks to place on the layout, but progress has been slow. I've posted more on this section on TPRR and various threads on the forum.

Thanks hope you share your adding of vehicles on here. I have some trucks I need to finish and get them on the layout. I’ll have to take a look over there. Thanks

Lee, always enjoy posting on this thread...thanks for your remarks!
Afternoon guys sure are some great looking cars here! Some of them I wish I had for my layout! LOL
@ScoutingDad Jeff the Resort and Supper Club turned out great looking! It was probably a good idea to have the yuppies with the big cash attend the opening! The closest I have seen those cars is on TV or in a magazine! Just saying after some of us lower class folks get in there things just might not be the same! LOL
@cbq9911a Nice job on the buses and I like The Midgetoy tractor, I think it needs a little help with some logo's!
@Capetrainman Paul it really looks like a great rally and I see you even got a biker to join in! The only thing I see missing is the Pizza guy!
As you stated earlier I have a few rigs I nee to get on the layout once it is built again! Here are a few!

Mike I like those Diamond Ts.
Just add lights and girls to this 1955 T-Bird. Based on a Beach Boys song!

Your welcome Paul. Glad you enjoy it. Hope to get some fresh new stuff out soon

Good looking T Bird.
Guys ... keep the conversation about the subject of the topic. We deleted off topic posts...you can discuss those privately.
Profuse, that's a good looking T-bird...assuming it's 1/43? I'm curious to know the manufacturer...
An aerial pic of a rally of 1/43's earlier this summer at Bob's Country Store! Mike, the "Arttista" pizza guy was there standing by '57 Bel Air convertible...love those "Arttista" figures...

Paul it looks like GM rules at Country Bob's. Is that a GM only rally or am i mistaken?
You're right on coach...GM only that night! Sometimes "Bob" opens up the rally to the Ford and Chrysler gang...
While close, but no cigar, Outback Toys has 3 International KB-8 trucks, a tandem flatbed, dump, and stakebed, in 1/50 scale on sale $50-60. Items #39510, 39511, and 39512. 2 tractors also in 1/50, a Case 2050M XLT dozer ZFN 14914 and Case 580NWT backhoe, ZFN 14991 both about $20 each. Outback is all about farm toys, but primarily in 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and sometimes 1/50 and 1/87. There is a couple HO cars, Farmall passenger coach and searchlight car, plus 5 Caterpillar lowboy semis with tractor loads on sale too.

1:43 1955 Ford T-Bird Convertible (Yellow) $6.99 from Diecastdirect.com. I put drivers and lights in all my cars, but needed a couple of convertables so you can see the people better.
Somehow, the senior couple in the Chrysler got into the GM rally earlier this summer at Morrision Door...

Great scotts Batman! I bet the old guy paid the guy in the Chevell behind him to block them in so he could see all the wonderful cars!

Well it is one of those 300s not a Lee Iococca K-car.
I didn't realize First Gear did 1/50s.
John- I thought those Mack trucks were actual vehicles! They look great. JohnA
I can see why they are among your favorites, John! Superb!
Joe "Cool" is taking advantage of the warm temps over the weekend to squeeze in one more day with the top down before the snow flies! The everpresent checker players in front of the general store don't seem interested in the '57. It never fails, Joe takes up two spaces wherever he parks to protect his car from door rash...

Was in CVS for flu shot and shingles vaccine - supposed to hang around for 10 minutes and was rewarded by snagging this 1:43 ‘67 Impala. Works great on my ‘70’s-‘80’s era layout!
I may add some rust at the rear wheel wells later. 1:50 would be better but I’ll start with right era.
