Don’t know if I’ve post this or not but I’m redoing this 1/43 Ertl Farm wagon into a old International McCormick. I updated the tongue repainted it added some decals and some side boards. I’m building a Farm Scene for the layout this will go on.
Another great job Lee.
@mike g. posted: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
Mike, that green MG stands out in that photo! It looks like a '53 TD, but it has spoke wheels, and that would make it a '51 TC. Either way it brings back memories of my dads '53 MG TD! Plus, it looks great in front of the Greyhound bus depot. And I spy an Austin Martin on the right. You must like British cars?! ;-) Buses? Maybe a British double decker painted in Greyhound colors! Just joking! Your layout is looking awesome.
@lee drennen, the trailer looks great!
@WesternPacific2217, Thanks for the comment! I am not really into British cars, they just happen to come from my father in laws, he had them in his collection when he gave me some cars.
Always like to see MG's on layouts. TA and TB are prewar, TC's are 45-49, then TD's, followed by TF's in 55. I love the T-series cars. (nope - no TE's). The one in the picture is actually a nicely painted pencil sharpener. Looks great, nice layout!
Okay so here's the latest batch of vehicles;
The "Lego" sub will be discussed in another topic. The REA step van is an American Heritage Models with the Wrigley's Spearmint advertisement on the side. While there is no indication of scale it does have No. 0143 on the bottom. Comparing it to the other vehicles pictured it's a good bet that means 1/43 scale. Next in line is a Maisto 1/43 scale VW Bug. It just came out of a box of my 27 year old son's MicroMachines. The black one was the 1/48 scale, $1.98 Walmart special discussed previously. I've been looking at the brown TONKA everyday since April. It always struck me as being to small, until I flipped it over a few days ago and saw it was a Maisto 1/48 scale from 2001. Compared to the $1.98 special it's the same size. So now I've got 5 vehicles that need detailing this winter.

Wow Joel. That’s sharp looks at home on the layout
Thanks Lee 👍
Nice job on the El Camino, Joel.
I just ordered more REA decals for my White cab project. The ones I previously ordered look too small. If I get a dry day, I can continue on the Army Air Force tanker.
Joel, that really turned out sharp looking! Very nice work!
Thanks Artie, thanks Mike, Mike, did you see that crazy looking bus that I have coming? The price was right, it looks very old school streamlined. It does need some work though. I’m not sure, I don’t think Lee liked it. I thought it looked kinda cool.

Yeah I didn’t like it I loved it
Got it Lee, I wasn’t quite sure...
Business has been pretty good this summer and fall at the general store...it's become the 'go-to" place for the car buffs after the car rallies. The Green Briar 4-8-4 rounds the bend in the background...!
Those folks sure have a lot of fun on your layout, Paul!
Meanwhile, decaling is proceeding on the tanker. Just a matter of adding a few pieces to finish the build.

Artie, that sure is looking great! I started a model today, but I will post in what did you do on your layout today.
Here’s the finished decaling for both the AAF tanker, and the REA cab. Just have to do some small detail painting, and assembly.
