Lee, Those are some fantastic looking vehicles! (And a great bus, too.) Congrats on the steam engine purchase and looking forward to your build -- as my still half-painted Mustang interior sits in front of me!
TRRR
Thanks Vincent it’s a 1939 Cadillac it’s one of my favorites also
Thanks Tom I’m excited about this new journey I plan on building a 1940s layout in the house soon this ones in the garage
lee drennen posted:Over the weekend I finally bought a steam engine I’ve been wanting one for years so I could do a layout in the early 40s so today I backdated my layout to Early Spring 1942 with some vehicles I bought at the hobby shop yesterday also and I have started an FK Mack to replace my B81 Mack enjoy the pics
Congratulations Lee! on that beautiful collection, and your new ~steamer'. You certainly have a nice investment added to your fleet. I like the red sedan, what is that model? That old Mack is gonna be another beauty when you finish it up'...
Beautiful scenes Patrick'.. All great. This one is my favorite'....

Lee it didn't take very long for those new buys to hit the layout. Can't wait to see the 3000 and the FK finished and working the streets of your layout.
Mel. Don Mills made the kit but he doesn’t sell them anymore as kits. I bought this one about 10yrs ago
Joe. You may not see the White 3000 this time due because my layout is now around 1942 but you will see that Mack FK

Lee it looks like there are lots of prosperous people in your town.
Lee, I have been enjoying this thread since it began,thank you for it! Where did you find those new cars, they are beautiful? As a diecast car collector for many years I envy you for those cars! Especially the Packard, gorgeous!
Joe. I guess why my layout is called “Dough Hill” but really I got the name off the Waltons that’s where Corbeth Godsy lived before she met Ike
Play Trains. You’re welcome I’m just glad it’s going strong. I just got 7 over the weekend at a hobby shop in St. Louis and the last 2 off EBay. I’ll be posting 2 more later I’ve always liked these 1930-40s

That's the problem with diecast. Few "average" cars get made, and most are of expensive or rare cars...
Yes Lee they get pricey I wish more 30s-40s car would be cheaper and produce more common cars like you said. Anything new on your layout? we always like your pics

Nothing new, work has been driving me insane, and I spent last weekend at Winterail, the annual swap meet and RR photo event in Oregon.
I have a WW2 generator trailer kit I need to build. That comes next!
