From one Lee to another, thanks. I actually admire your work with wheeled vehicles quite a bit.

P51, that blue truck is about the snazziest-looking pick-up I've ever seen.

Thank you. It has a correct license plate for the year and county where the layout takes place, as well as a WW2 era gas ration sticker on the windshield.

Here it sits on the layout in the spot I intended for it, for now.

Some more cars from my antique collection.

Nice work Bob, Looks exactly like the real deal'... very nice indeed'..

Lee, to answer your question about what scale my antique vehicles are:

Strange things were always happening in the valley, but when a dragon appeared, that was too much. So the king sent two knights to kill the dragon, but a train ran over them. Hence, my first lay-out, Vincent's Railroad Empire, was born.

Different times and places existed simultaneously in VRE, and although it is gone, some of the magic has survived.

 Thank you for the beautiful post I don’t know which pic I like the best the Tucker one are the truck terminals.  I also like your skyline background do you mind telling us who makes that thanks and thanks for posting 

Thanks Lee for your kind words!  I really like model vehicles ( especially  trucks and fire apparatus ) , moving them around and changing them in and out  on my layout periodically.   Doing so helps to mildly freshen the look of the layout and helps keep my creative juices flowing.

Your welcome Patrick. Yes moving them around keeps the layout alive . Thanks for posting 

My two favorites are two  50 cent pieces of beat-up junk that my wife repainted. The red one is a 1935 Cadillac. The black one is a 1936 Cord, a luxury car that was only made for five years.

Mr. Massi... l couldn't get photos to open...saw a later coffin-nosed Cord in a period prototype photo of a station on the Rio Grande Southern (Galloping Goose RR), SW Colorado, which is a lot farther from service than l would have wanted to get with their front drive problems.  E.L. Cord also built Auburns, and Duesenbergs as well as Cords, in Indiana.
