Lee, thanks for the info...I just bought my second truck from DD...great assortment and service...
Mike, they have a nice selection of 1/43 "muscle" cars as some called them decades ago
The Postman dropped this off yesterday. Ted I finally got one at your price I think. Box looks like it’s been wet and the chrome is oxidized on the Right side.

@JDFonz posted:Wow Lee, Fantastic job on the cut and reseam. I can’t believe how good you get things to line up. I don’t know if I would have the guts to try something like that.

Joel. I was nervous doing it I put the tape there for a straight line. I done this before Atlantis release there’s so it was a one time shot.
@mike g. posted:OH Paul, you didn't miss to much! Don't worry we will include you next time!
Lee, I am with Joel, great job and you make it look so easy! cut here, glue here and paint, Bang your done! LOL I would give it a try, you never know till you try!
Mike your kind words are too much but I wish it was that easy.

Lee, that "hook and ladder' looks familiar...I think the postman dropped one here too? I paid Ted's price too, but couldn't get the free shipping...sharp truck for sure. It's my first Corgi on the layout...i just have to figure where to put it?
That's just like the one I got. It matches the pumper B Mack. They are both great.
Paul Dave. Yes it’s nice been waiting for one to pop up on the bay for a decent price no free shipping like Ted either. Ted needs to get a discount from that seller for advertising his item lol.
Well you know me I already have plans to change mine up already the pumper is almost done then I’ll get started on this one.
Just got an order from DD...
Nice '53 beige Chevy pickup with opening doors and "baby moons".
Couple of street machines - '67 Z/28 and '68 Shelby K/R.
Pick of the litter is this 1950 Bullnose Kenworth tractor that was advertised for $15.00 off due to a bent front axle (it was severely bent on delivery) . I just pried one wheel off and straightened the axle with pliers and a vise and it's good as new. It also came with a nice plastic/lexan case. Now I need to find a trailer to go with it.
Interesting about that bent axle. I purchased the same bullnose wiht the same price and the same defect. Somebody must have really screwed the axles up!!!
Good looking model
Paul
Richie nice Bullnose and a bit of History behind it. The owner of the real truck lived 20 minutes from my house. He and his Dad ran identical trucks #1 and #4 Bob the son ran #4 both were parked after they both retired at Bobs house on Highway U. near my house I use to visit Bob amazing stories of trucking he would tell. He passed away in 2006. They were well known as the “Circus Fleet” here’s a pic from Bob’s Obituary that’s Bob and his dad I will post some I took at his house on one of my visits.
Paul - that's very interesting. It wasn't just a little bend - mine was at about 45 degrees !!
Lee - very cool story and looking forward to the other pic's. I guess it is a small world.
here a picture from my other dozer

Cor, fantastic weathering all around and fantastic detailing in the front of that International. Thanks for posting.

👩🏽🚒 Help Wanted 👨🏽🚒O Gauge Volunteer Firemen' Needed . Apply to Chief, Lee Drennen. Due to the increase in fire apparatus donations, we now have four ladder Trucks and four brand new Pumpers, requiring new Firemen to man the equipment'... We are diverse, Atrista, Pizer, Woodland Scenics, Model U and all others welcome to apply'...🚒
Thanks Ted. Yes lots of Equipment not enough man power. This is the only fireman on the Dough Hill Layout
It's really funny we have four ladders trucks. Mine was actually on the vintage collectable thread. I don't think he knew what he had. I've seen them selling as much as $125.00 on the Corgi/Dinky pages.
A little chrome pen action will take care of any oxidation on yours... How did you disconnect the trailer from the tractor? Mine does not come apart...👩🏽🚒
I'm considering putting the Corgi "hook and ladder" on North Main Street with the ladder extended up on an MTH large office building with a fireman on the ladder attempting to rescue an office worker in distress...we'll see. The truck is brand new and in perfect condition...the seller I bought from did not pop-up in a direct search on the big auction site, but was displayed under the search results in a small square with a picture and short description...this often happens. Seller mentioned having 10 of same item?
Paul, I can't wait to see your scenario on the layout. I don't have any really tall buildings on the layout, but I have them on shelves. I might have to do a restoration on my layout....Problem is, I like it just the way it is.....😍
