I have a few vehicles on the layout, mostly on the freight side. But I need to get some people figures to put among them to liven things up a bit.

Nice batch of autos and trucks Vern! My favorite is the Greyhound Scenicriuser! I’m looking for a Scenicruiser, but so far the ones I have found are over $100! I’m not a collector, so waiting until I see one for less than fifty bucks. The silver late 40’s pick ups are unique too!

Thank you, Scott. I bought the Scenicruiser from Corgi several years ago when they first came out. Had to have this particular livery with the gold striping, because I rode on one of these from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo and on another one from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City as a teenager way back in 1962. The Ford and Chevy pickups are from Lionel flatcar loads.

I liked your engineer figures on another thread so much that I searched for them and ordered the packet of them from Woodland Scenics on eBay. Thank you for that inspiration. 😉

Patrick, that Milk Truck scene is awesome. The milk truck is cool, and the milk cartons, where'd you find those? It's all the little stuff in your scenes that make them special! I'm getting the feeling of fall with the pumpkins and turkeys! :-)

Thanks so much Scott!   I honestly don't remember exactly where I bought the milk crates.  I think it was from Town and Country Hobbies in the Orange Hall at York.  They always have the "little stuff" that can greatly enhance a scene.  I think Town and Country Hobbies has a website.  If not them perhaps I got them from Scenic Express?   I wish I could be more accurate, however, I've  bought and acquired so much little stuff that I just can't remember exactly where, what show,  e bay purchase, or on line dealer I bought from.  

Btw - The Fall and Spring seasons are my favorite times of the year.  I love modeling Fall more so over Spring.

That guy dragging the pallet around never gets a break! LoL You must like those '54 Caddies! Nice red rag top version. Your military vehicles look great and that Deuce and a Half looks awesome on the flatbed! More great photos!

Here you go guys, a couple of shiny tankers picking up so fuel for town and a sharp looking I believe it's a Kenworth. I think he is just taking his mandatory break from driving!

Corgi Classics “plain” Greyhound bus. Have wanted this for awhile and found it at a great price! Think it looks nice with the Amtrak billboard behind it, even if they’re 30+ years apart7C2F7E6F-DF44-459E-BBC6-CBF07CEE1212

Will hopefully get some pics of the rest, soon. Finally got a school bus(1/50 by Daron)
