1932 ? Ford stake body truck.

Nice looking Ford Patrick I like the colors and what a great pic of it thanks for sharing.

Decided my layout in process had shed their passenger service when they switched from steam to diesel, trying to keep the railroad profitable. Luckily Greyhound was there to take up the slack.

The '57 Bel Air in "Surf Green" gets some attention at the gas station and general store, but the checker players seem unimpressed...

The "Boss" arrives at the station for an early morning meeting in the "Chi..."

The office crew was leaving Morrison Door for the day when three hot shots showed up with their Chevelle SS 396's to impress a certain blonde lady from the admin staff.  Everything was cool until the top sales guy showed up in his 455 Buick Grand Sport to pick-up his commission check for the week!  Needless to say, the sales guy grabbed all the attention...

My New Haven railroad is still using some repainted telephone trucks from their WWII surplus acquisitions.  OK, so it’s really a 1/48 3D printed kit from a French company GAS O LINE.  This is not for the faint of heart—lots of tricky fitting and careful attention to logic in the assembly, since all the material is printed in French😬and no, I don’t speak or understand it.  It’s the challenge….

Very nice Don.

This isn't new but I never posted it.  I wanted an airport fire truck for my planned air field / air museum but at the time those types of trucks were very high dollar.  Seeing inexpensive airport fire trucks recently made me remember this one.  I found it in the toy aisle, it's a Disney Cars Rescue Ryker model.  Like all Cars characters it had eyes in the windshield.  I found a picture of the front of an airport fire truck, scaled it to fit, printed it on label paper and we have a windshield instead of eyes.

Since my layout will have very little scale fidelity the lack of details on this toy is not an issue.  I think it looks pretty good and will fill the role very well.

As the sun rises over the mountain behind the North Main Street station, the commuters hustle to buy a ticket and get to the loading platform before the 6:45 am to Chicago pulls in...

Hi guys, I know it's been a while and I am sorry for that. Between Honey Doo's here and a quick trip to North Dakota to see the in-laws there is nothing really new. I did pick up a few cars from Menards the local gas station there, just haven't gotten the time to even unpack them! LOL

@coach joe Joe I love the fire engine! I need to find one for my small airfield!

@Capetrainman Paul, your town is always busy, between meetings, the guys trying to impress the ladies and all the commuters it is amazing anyone ever gets some sleep! LOL I love all your town shots!

@Michael Hokkanen Michael wonderful video of your layout! Your city is a nice draw to your layout!

Well I hope to get some time tomorrow to unpack some stuff and I will try to get some photos for you all!

Mike, I don't know availability for the Cars version but I have seen several more detailed ones on eBay in the $25 range.

The Saturday night car rally is in full-swing as the landscapers finish up for the Sunday daytime import rally...the owner of the door company is always generous with the use of his lot by other "car buffs..."

Saturday night muscle followed by Sunday Euro-sports.  That parking lot is always full!

This is a 1936 White Model 706 Tour Bus.

The scale is 1:48 and made by "The Open Tour Bus Company".

Keep those trains running.

who caries this?

Those open top buses served some of the National Park, therefore came in several liveries.  The one shown was from Yellowstone, another yellow one was for Gettysburg and another for Skagway Alaska.  A red one had Glacier National Park and there also was a green one.  You'll have to search the internet, several vendors that were sources of these are currently out of stock.

Thanks for the info coach. I found this one at a consignment store in Encinitas.

Jeff

thank you

There are several of the red Glacier Park ones on eBay at this time.
