Don, Iam so sorry, as I have never been there. From what I have seen in movies Jersey has always been the little brother of NY. I guess I need to do some investigation before I speak! LOL

Mike I’ve hauled all over Jersey it’s a very beautiful place

Mike, they’ve got miles and miles of beaches, and thick forests in the NE portion and the Pine Barrens. Don’t let the view from the NJ Turnpike fool you-it’s not all roads and industry. Of course, I’m happy living in the woods of NE PA, but I grew up in the urban towns of Hoboken, Bayonne, and Jersey City, as well as suburban Dumont. Lots, of railroads, and lots of fishing!

Artie

Mike all is forgiven!  You are among friends!

Don

Patrick, great scene, I am stuck between the Vett  or the bike with the side car!

Lee, Artie and Don, I am sure it is just a wonderful place to live. I just don't know that much about that area  but from what you guys are saying it looks a lot like here!

One of the small lakes we go fishing at!

Mike, you sure opened a big can of worms'.  Jersey has a variety of different terrains.  Ocean coast line, great beaches.  Urban city areas. and in the north western area adjacent to PA, beautiful  mountains and forests.  However, it is no comparison to Washington State'  One of the most beautiful states in the north west.  I lived in both.  Let's not even discuss the tolls on the Garden State'...💰💰💰💰💲💲💲💲😢

Mike, the downside to NJ is that it’s very costly to live there. It’s much less expensive here in PA. I worked for a NYC institution, and when I moved out here to PA in 1995, my money went much further.

Mike, are there bass or trout in that lake?

The outside sales force of Morrison Door arrives early for the post Labor Day sales meeting on Tuesday morning...the top performing sales rep drives the red / white AH 3000...the young blonde, part of the administrative team, loves her VW bug, while the "boss" (in the fedora) can't part with his '55 Chevy Bel-Air...

Back to cars and trucks! The REA driver and his pup trailer barely make between the siding and the main at the crossing. It’s a good thing he’s not hauling a 40’ trailer!

Artie. That’s a nice Big Job Ford you have there

Thanks, Lee. They were sold as a tractor/trailer pair by Lionel in 2012. 1/48 scale. The pups match the ones on the DL&W 53’ TOFC flats that Lionel made a few years later. So far, Lionel has not made DL&W tractors, that I know of.

Artie,

The REA is great but I’ve also been admiring that brown and white Chevy (?) station wagon in the background of both your photos.  Can you supply more details?  Its year, make, the model manufacturer, perhaps? Very nice.

Thanks, Tomlinson Run Railroad

Ted, I cant argue with you there, I have been from here to Quanico Va. for embassy school, DC, and its all nice, just to humid for me!

Artie, its some great tasting trout! Also great job on the REA Truck and trailer!

Paul, great scene! It's not very offten your find an MG next to a VW! LOL

TomlinsonRunRR, it’s a1955 Pontiac Safari by Road Champs, manufactured in 1995.

Artie

Artie, I saw that hood ornament and leapt to “Chevy” in my mind.  Nice work on the two tone look by Road Champs.
Best.

It is 1964 and this CP Autorack is delivering new 1964 Fords to the dealer. Most of these are IXO models that I have had in boxes on the shelf for a few years.

Found some Greenlight 1970 Ford F100 pickup trucks at a good price and just picked up this 1966 Mack to haul them. I used a New Ray toy auto carrier body and trailer. I did not want to destroy the truck so I modified the auto rack to fit, trimmed off one of the bottom screw mounts and slight sanding of the other center screw mounting tab to slide into the trucks 5th wheel hole. I glued on a piece of plastic to the rear so it just sits on the truck without any damage to the truck. I got a piece of brass tubing, bent it and sprayed it silver to slide over the top of the vertical exhaust stack to route it away from the vehicles. And had to raise the top deck to clear the truck wind deflector and exhaust stack. Glued on bits of plastic to keep the trucks from rolling off. All 1970 Fords on the way to the dealer. I love the colors and details on the trucks. Green light are great vehicles with good price.

I've had these for as long as I can remember, perhaps used by my Father on a Christmas putz in the late '30s for my much older Sister...  Any ideas who made them?

Wow what a brilliant selection'.  I love those Ford wagons'... and the pick ups'.. I Take it you are a Ford man'...😁 ... So am I...👍👌

Beautiful auto carriers, both rail and truck, and beautiful vehicles. I have nothing new myself, but I don’t think I could fit another her vehicle on my layout!
