artie dl&w, i have the same tow truck in green, but a must have is the good humor truck! gonna get one
just ordered the good humor truck off ebay, 21.95 free shipping. gonna look good in front of the union station. thanks for the pic's
I was eyeing that ice cream truck, too. My carpet layout (now packed up) has been known to sport scale Cars cars and trucks and foodie related themes occasionally. Who makes it? Thanks.
TRRR
trrr, its a road champs classic scenes, on ebay. search road champs good humor truck.tim
Ah, thanks, Tim. I have that truck. It’s a great model. I thought you folks were talking about the ice cream truck best seen in kj356’s last photo — in the back on the left — with the face in it. That’s why I was wondering whether it was a scale Disney-Pixar Cars franchise model, but it doesn’t quite look like it.
Just found it: It’s the I-Screamer and is a Disney-Pixar model afterall. Several on the Bay.
Kj356, great job on the Sinclair tanker! A very fussy kit to assemble, and although I like a more subdued paint scheme, your detail work is fantastic.
This is known as the; Lionel Route 66 Dino Cafe 6-22993 came out a # of years back. I ordered it after finishing my Sinclair tankers and saw it on line and thought it would be a perfect fit, it is sitting in my Radiator Springs village with all Disney Cars movie theme vehicles, fits right in with the town. There might still be one left at the Christmas train store they did have a couple of them. They are closing down and clearing everything out on sale right now; https://christmastrainstore.ca/ In Canadian $'s but when you do the exchange rate you will see it is considerably less in US$ Contact them to see if it is still in stock. They are pricy on e-bay.
Here are some of my recent acquisitions. A Hot Wheels Custom Classics 1/50 Willys, A Spec Cast 1/50 White WC stakebed truck, an Athearn 1/50 1955 F100 and a Menards 1/48 Chevy panel truck. They're posed with my in-progress FOS Scale Models gas station kit build.

Sitka- that Utica Club truck came out great!
I love repaints/kitbashing (actual modeling)! JohnA
Morning guys, you all have some great looking rigs! Sorry I haven't been around for a little while as life took me way from anything to do with trains!
I did get out to the train room yesterday and did a little work and also pulled this tractor trailer out and put it back on the layout. I am sure you all have seen it before, but I sure like it and it looks so perfect for a O gauge layout.
I hope you all have a great day!

Sure is a couple great looking cars! I am sure they will look wonderful on the layout!
Menards has a new vintage bus on a flat car that looks nice for the price note on a 10 1/2 inch flat car;

it is similar to the Corgi Flxible Clipper 1/50 scale which are pricy if you can find them now; here is a photo with a Menards 11 1/2 inch flat car. Would look good on the layout and make an interesting repaint project. Looks to be a little smaller then the Corgi bus.

They’re both made by Greenlight collectibles. I purchased them on Diecast Direct site. A bit disappointed in the quality considering the price. For the amount they cost one would think they’d have opening doors and trunks. Or am I still living with 20 years ago prices in my head? All and all they’re nice cars.

1955 Cadillac Fleetwood a la Elvis Presley. It looks like a replica of his as it has the spot light on the fender just in front of the driver side mirror. One of his many pink Cadillacs! Nice Model! I too have a model of one of his convertible pink Caddy's on my layout.
