IMG_7883IMG_1225We have 2 layouts. One is in a 12’ x 16’ shed. The other is a 4’ x4’ old style 027 layout in our front room. I have a few vehicles on each layout. One of these cars is a model of my first car (which had been my dad’s). It was a 1950 Cadillac convertible. I found a toy Cadillac hard top in the wrong color at our CVS pharmacy. Not only was it the wrong color, but it was marked underneath as a 1953 model. But it was close enough. I painted it blue like my Caddy was, and made the top look like a “rag top.”  Then I found another Caddy model which was also the wrong color and a hard top. I cut the top off and made it look like my Caddy with the top down and painted it blue. One stays on the train shed layout, and the other one stays on the small 027 layout in the front room. In the photos the light makes the colors look very different.

Nice Caddies. Thanks for sharing

I was going to post this over in Did You Buy Anything Cool Lately, but then someone resurrected my LEGO and O Gauge thread so I figure it's time to re-invigorate this thread.  It's a non-transforming Optimus Prime Transformer courtesy of JADA Toys' Hollywood Rides line via WalMart.  I couldn't find a scale on the box but it looked good to me.IMG_2673IMG_2674IMG_2675Here it is next to a Welly 1958 Fordmarketed as 1/43 scale.  Looks fine to me.

I've got another one of these Non-Transformer from a while back.  I believe it's the conventional tractor in this picture.

  Joe, I think that is a 1/40 scale.  Next to the 53 Ford it looks OK.  Close enough..

Added "Djer's Used Cars" to the layout...Djer wants to clear out the convertibles inventory before the snow flies here in the Northeast!  The asphalt guy just finished paving the lot before the temps began to drop.  The lot is not yet striped., but will be if the weather cooperates.  Convertibles are priced to sell to make room for the Christmas tree inventory about to arrive...
