Artie, its looking good! Maybe if it's still there next time we go back I will pick it up, just to give it a try! I am fallowing your build as I love the work you do!

Here is my addition for today! I know its not much, but some have said they haven't seen one before!

I know the cab looks black, but it really is BROWN! LOL

Mike thanks for sharing I haven’t seen one of these  Buster Brown GMC Astro for years I like it

The LCCA did an REA panel van that mirrors the panel van in the Lionelville Set #2...

And finally, an unmarked Menards entry - I got a fleet of these trucks when I purchased a few of their flatcars a few years ago. When compared to the REA van (which I am assuming is 1/43), it seems to be similarly sized.

Paul. That REA delivery truck really looks good I like it

Thanks, Mike - I painted and detailed the model to look like the real one I'm lucky enough to own.

Richie. That’s a pretty color glad you got to get it in O scale to match it

Lee, I ordered an extra “glass” assembly when I ordered the kit, just in case. My next post should be about decaling.

Scored on a few diecast vehicles last weekend at the train show in Spokane. I really love the food truck, I think it'll fit in well on my Xmas village.  I needed a hearse for my Halloween village so the GMC panel truck turned out good with a paint job and a small piece of wire for the scroll on the side. I thought the convertible Cadillac was cool because it actually had the top up. And no Halloween village is complete without Christine. 

Nick. What a Haul very nice and thanks for sharing them

Looking at a lot of layouts Mike ............this is the first truck I've seen like this one especially with a cab like yours.       Nice  👍

I just received an American Heritage Models REA, Wrigley's Spearmint, step van.  The underside is devoid of any markings except No 0143.  It looks a little big but that may be the difference between 1:43 and 1:48.  Pictures to follow once I get a chance.

Joe;

The LCCA vans were also done by American Heritage Models, so yours may be the same as the LCCA versions except for the decoration. I bought two - here is the unopened one.

My REA van measures:

Bumper to Bumper: 5.55”
Width: 1.94”
Height (from bottom of tire): 2.59”

I’m guessing yours will be similar in size.

Dead ringer except for the advertisement on the side.

Paul, nice REA panel truck! It will look great on your layout!

Ok guys, I had a problem with my Grayhound bus station, but got it figured out! Here is a photo, now all I have to do is save up for some buses!

And this is for Capetrainman, so he knows the lights work! LOL

I know it shows the whole town, but I figured while I was at it, why not! LOL

Neat bus station and layout, Mike!
I did some more painting on the tractor/ trailer, so maybe photos with decals next week.

Looking forward to it Artie

Hey Mike, I just bought this Dinky Bus on the Bay for $12.40 with free shipping. I don’t exactly know the scale but usually the cars are 1/43. I’m guessing this will be 1/50. Doesn’t have windows, but I was planning on adding an interior and glass. Maybe this is something for you. They also have a blue and silver model.

Got a few cool 1/43-1/50 scale automobiles the last 2 weeks. Corgi, Dinky, Matchbox Superkings and one K-line tractor and trailer PLUS some stuff from my dad's collection

Got these three off eBay

Corgi Major Fruehauf Bottom Dumper w/ Ford tractor(pristine condition- I love this one!) from 1975

Corgi Major Skyscraper Tower Crane...unfortunately it's rather short, I actually moved it so it's by a water tower now, but if you want a mini crane- this works and looks cool. from 1974

Corgi Major toys Quad tractor in a Riot Police paint scheme with searchlight and water cannons on top. Also, if anyone likes white metal figures, especially soldiers, the two green soldiers up front, the UN soldier, the red hat soldier with vest, and the kneeling one behind him are all from an eBay seller in Russia. They're pricey but really cool and go well with other o scale figures despite being listed as 1/43

MB Superkings ATSF Ford Transcontiental(probably my favorite)

Ford Transcontinental. Then from my dad- Corgi major Gloster Saro tanker with Mack tractor. MB Superkings Low Loader with bulldozer. The last one is about 1/50

Last but not least! Dinky toys Esso gas pumps set
