Artie, looks like you have a great model to build and a start for the rest of us to watch your build!
Here are a couple Autos I just put out on the layout! I hope you all enjoy.

Good looking Pup! Now all you have to do is get it into the train room!
Thanks, Mike, but not for awhile yet. He’ll eat anything!
Lee, decals ordered! Thanks! I’ll post some photos tomorrow.
Thanks Lee for the encouragement .. I have the Tamiya version... Same model , different color plastic... As soon as I get squared away with 50 other 1:1 projects.. I plan on getting back to the modeling work bench...🙂

Your welcome.
@mike g. posted:Paul, I love the night scene and all the busses! Looks great! What is really impressive is the EYHOUND station!
Lee, don't forget if your interested drop me a line!
Thanks, Mike...I'm not quick enough with the shutter button any more to caption the sign as it's fully lighted...the sign goes from a single letter lite to additional lights in sequence one at a time until all letters are lite...then the sequence starts all over again! Did I say that right...lol
I'll try again to get the whole sign lighted...

Mike, you've got some serious highway going on right here...good looking road system! What base did you use for the highway?? I can't tell is it's foamboard...
@WesternPacific2217 posted:Paul, that is an awesome scene! That Greyhound bus in the front of the station looks like a MTH, as I have one too that I put headlights and taillights in. Your layout looks great, and I love night scenes!
Western, thanks...two of the buses are MTH and the "Scenicruiser's" are Corgi...one of my favorite spots on the layout...
Just found another New Ray auto carrier so mounted it on a Diamond Rio IXO model truck. Fits well delivering a load of new 1970 Mustangs beside the Mack delivering the 1970 Ford Pickups. Busy day at the local Ford dealer!

Aw, such an adorable little pup!
@WesternPacific2217 posted:Shasta, Gotta love the Disney “Cars” theme! Somebody needs to have a talk with the person in the greenish car about railroad safety! LoL The blue auto carrier is awesome.
Sorry for the delay, I work out of town couldn't remember for sure what it was. It's a Franklin Mint that I got at discount because there was no box and a paint rub on the roof. It is a Mercury Monterey not sure of the year as the invoice does not specify that.

Sorry Western Pacific 2217, someone had asked if that was a Chevy apparently a different thread. Answered you without reading the post through. I was collecting The Cars Land buildings with the intent to make a module. And as seems to be typical with Disney they stopped the series before they finished with all the pieces. I have used them as a temporary fill to my one turned helix. The grand kids really like them. When the three-year-old first saw them he said" oh Disneyland" after looking around for a couple of minutes then ask " where are the rides?"

This a 1949 through 51. Mercury redesigned the body in 52. The 49 was a very big seller, it was the next step up from the best selling 49 Ford', and considered and advertised as a luxury car. The 4 door model was the biggest seller..
Ted, you sure know your cars...are you sure you weren't in the auto business for many years??

Franklin Mint did a nice job on their "Classic Cars of The 50' (and 60"s) probably twenty years ago. Seem to recall the original release of the cars was $50 each...during the great recession back in 2008 and forward for a few years, I bought a few like Shasta mentions for a deal. The open hood and open doors feature was a winner, and the engine under the hood looks realistic...
