Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

Nice looking trucks! JohnA

I can’t believe I didn’t try this earlier! Here’s the cab from the Atlantis kit hooked up to a Lionel pup trailer. Not too shabby I think!

That looks great, Artie!

All,

The gentleman pictured is Tommy Gilbert of Tommy Gilbert's Hobby Shop in Gettysburg, PA.  The artist is shown with his creation, a Corgi bus that he has transformed into a P&W (Pittsburgh & Weirton) bus for me.

I think the fidelity to the prototype is amazing, if I say so myself.

I can believe it either Artie after all those pictures I’ve posted of mine

Try this Artie

I like to bring this guy to shows on occasion, no clue if Optimus Prime is a proper 1/43rd scale but he fits in well enough with the other O gauge vehicles in his vehicle mode and kids love it when he's duking it out with Megatron somewhere on the layout. I even slightly modified his trailer to accept a K-line railmate wheelset so it can act as part of my roadrailer/intermodal freight train.

Super nice, George!  Tommy did great!

I, uh, guess it takes me awhile, Lee! Truth be told, I did hook them together when I finished the cab, but didn’t think to photograph them.

Wow, George, that bus is fantastic!

Finished these for an article in The O Scale Resource. These are 1/48 kits by Berkshire
Valley Models.

Fine work, oooooooh!

One of those "finds" that I wasn't looking for...

Hi Mayor Magoo,

Nice truck.
Where did you “find” it?

John

In addition to where did you find it, who made it?  That is a really great find for sure, my layout is TV and Movies trivia.  As you said...great fit!

Thanks.  Don't know who made the truck, all it says on it is "Made in China".  Didn't come in a package, I found it loose on the bottom of a shelf in a local antique store.  I like to browse through them here once every few months.  Most of the time come away empty handed but you never know when you'll find something interesting.

CA John & Mr. Mayor, the truck is a 1/32 scale 1928 Chevy pickup in the series "Vintage Trucks of Yesteryear" by The National Motor Museum Mint.

Thanks Jerry.  I did find a stamp with 1928 Chevy Truck on the model.  And it did look oversized but thought I could get away with it in that scene with the Homie figures.

Luv that truck!

I think that truck looks great Mr. Mayor, and I love Homies too. Nice find!

Definitely works with the Palermos, Italian Homies.  As we all know the Don and his pals were larger than life just like the Homies.

From my childhood, who made these?  No use for them thinking of selling.
