Mike- that truck looks great! JohnA
Can't beat Schuco Piccolo for detail. They make grate bikes... Nice shots, first time I've seen a sidecar by them...

No, I haven't.. sure is cool. Is it a Shuco? I thought they only made bikes...

Ted, it is a Schuco....I'm not amiliar with Schuco Piccolo? Sometimes these manuafacturers partner up with another to keep the show going or expand the offering. The Porsche 360 seems to be one of Schuco's main offerings in different colors and versions with ski racks, suitcases, golf clubs, etc. I'll put up a couple more pics later...

Mike, the guy in the manhole is difinitely a brave soul...hopefully he gets a "combat pay" boost for the risk he's taking...
K-line marketed quite a few sportscars pulling travel trailers like this.
I wonder if they were made by Schuco and sold under the K-line banner?
A couple of Schuco's caught up in traffic...

The Schuco is a car that I have been totally unfamiliar with until now. I see I have been late to the party seeing so many nice looking models of them.
My friend had an OpelGT back in the day. I couldn't find an orange one so I got to try out my airbrush with a bottle of tangerine. Came out pretty good and now I have another memory on the layout.

I seem to have a thing for these cheap plastic Menards trucks since they are at least from the 50’s with the 56 Ford and 54 GMC versions. The cool ones will stay stock, and ones painted Menards will get paint and decals. Was originally thinking beer trucks but will see!
these are from last year I think and they released a new grouping of these as piggys again before Christmas. Have to make a video of the resulting piggy train!

This use to be a Menards Delivery truck!
Nice job Mike, thats what I want to do with some of mine as well, just older 50’s style!

Thanks Dennis, I still have more of them still in boxes waiting for a new paint job. Once I get the new train room up and running I can dig them back out of the moving boxes.

Did you print your own decals or find some on line?

You couldn't find an orange one? I'm surprised you found an Opel GT at all. I knew a guy that had a gold one with a vinyl top, brown I believe. Nice job on the re-paint.
