Mike, the bottom of the truck turned out awesome. Isn’t that nice how you can read it? Lee, you do an amazing job on those trucks.
Ted, c’mon man, I only have an iPad and don’t have access to a printer so the plates are a no go. Dang.

Thanks Joel.
Lol as for the plates, you find something and let me know I will print them up and ship them to you. Could take up to a month from the west coast. Lol
Mike, that would be awesome. Did you see that sheet of plates that Ted posted?
If you can print a sheet to the right scale for dinky/corgi I would really appreciate it.

Hi Joel, I seen it and will download it in the morning and get it printed out for you!
Thank you so much! Hopefully someday I can help you out.
Joel you and so many others here on the forum have already helped me so much. I have learned here not everyone does something expecting something in return.
Well thanks again Mike, no rush. Really appreciate this.

😁 Wow, Mike, Joel you guys beat me too it. I was going to ask Joel, for address and send them to you. They are sized for Corgi & Dinky... (LO)...
Well thanks Ted, you guys are great!

Joel, this thread group is the true essence of what a forum is all about'... Over all, the O Gauge forum is the friendliest one on the net'... I belong to two others, and there is always a competitive edge, and very big on rivet counting and nit picking. Not the case here, and very little when it does occur'..
Yes Ted, you know, you are right. I have been on this site for quite a while, I’ve purchased stuff from some guys on here and sent them a check for it. And I’m sure they have sent the stuff before the check even got there. Also asked some questions when I’ve been stumped, and someone always comes through. Overall just seems like a nice group of guys. Have you ever gone to York? Just wondering. Mike, if you’re reading this have you ever gone to York? Just wondering if I could ever run into you guys.
Regarding license plates: Since my layout is set in 1956 in New Jersey, evey car on my layout has a 1956 Jersey License Plate. I googled "1956 New Jersey License Plate," and searched images. I found one that was reasonably free of blemishes and dents. I squared it up in Adobe PhotoShop, and then went to town making all sorts of variants by PhotoShopping the numbers and letters. Below is one of two sheets. The large image shows the plate blown up enough for me to see it, the smaller images are the same plate reduced to fit a 1/43 scale car:

Joel, I have never been to York, heck 6-7 years ago I knew nothing about it. Never even heard of it till I got on this forum. Then again not to many folks from the west coast make the trip.

Joel. Thanks for the complement after about 12 years or so I’m finally getting around to getting them done. Trust me there’s more on the assembly line.
@mike g. posted:Thanks Ted and Lee for your nice words!
Ted as for the drill bit, I just started small and kept going up till it popped off! LOL As for the Chrome pen I love it sofar!
Lee, you are on quite a roll with your truck and trailers! It looks outstanding!
After my meeting this afternoon I went out and put a clear coat on the fire engine so I can use the Chrome pen to get things done!
I also got my Switching tower painted, but I will put that on what did you do on your layout today.
Mike. That fire truck is so close to being done looking great. Yes I’m on a roll with these trucks and it’s about time I get them finished.

Lee, thanks for the comment...the "'57 Vette" is an FM. I've had it for years. In looking at the pic again, I neglected to open the hood for the pic...will do for the next one
"The Classic Cars of the Fifties" series from FM shows up on the big auction site from time to time...sometimes the prices are extra cheap for these cars, other times over priced...
Paul, great to see you having someone taking care of that wonderful vett!
Joel, I got some plate printed up. But I want to talk to Ted before I ship them to make sure I have all my setting correct. How many copies would you like?
Well I am headed out to the train room soon to work on the fire truck and switching tower! I will check in later, I hope you all have a great Saturday!

@Dewman51 posted:Newest completed tractor trailers.
The tractor looks great. Very nice job. I'm curious about the trailer in the background. It looks like a 28' pup. I'm interested in modeling those for my intermodal trains. I don't know of any available O scale models. As a first attempt I cut down a Lionel 40' foot trailer, which is awaiting paint. I'm also going to experiment with stretching an MTH 20' trailer by two inches. Am I right you have a pup there, and if so can you tell me about it?
Thanks,
RM
