John

dead spot on great work had to take a double take 

Joe

thanks I’m glad I finally got that thing done 

Dang. As my one late coworker would say, "now that is spiffy". That is one great looking model. I've got to dig out some of my auto's, don't have many, but I should.

Picked up this '41 Chevy pickup at the Hudson, MA train show last weekend. I had never seen it with whitewall tires before.

The police here in Mexico usually use pick-up trucks rather than cars. By the way, that is a nice-looking police truck.

Ed, your first picture is a beautiful pick-up truck!

Your second picture shows Ken and Barbie (both of whom have either plastic brains or empty space) parking on an elevated grass plot. They deserve a ticket.

Brian. Thanks posting nice old truck I know you have more pics of your vehicles on your layout come on let’s see them 

Ed.  Thanks for posting Vincent is right that’s a good looking truck

Vince, I’m hurt. That’s me and my bride!😂. Actually, we were pulled over for speeding and, as you know, we layoutists live on a flat-earth. I didn’t want to go any further because there be dragons there!!!😂

Thanks for commenting.  Appreciate it.

It's 1/43 scale and from the 1998 Mattel "Models of Yesteryear" Series. Nothing opens on it, but it has a spare whitewall tire mounted in the frame under the bed, which I thought was pretty good detail for a $15 truck and no shipping charge.

FWIW, it was part of the product brought to the Hudson Show by Kevin Macomber of Narrow Gauge Modeling Company. He had a large collection of vehicles there and a gorgeous construction set which someone grabbed right away. He was a very nice guy and it looks like they might have also acquired the tooling from Schomberg Models.

Brian - looks like a nice '63 split window.

Patrick,

The detail in the top scene is amazing - so life-like.  I especially like the packing tape detail on the boxes waiting to be unloaded once lunch is over.

Great street scene, too! Lots of busy vehicles.

          here's one for you Lee...

Would like to know some more about the third picture, Is this a good photoshop?  Tractors are slippery at best without a trailer, thats why you have concrete ballast boxes when pushing or using a non fifth wheel trailer AND thats with rubber tires.  Steel on steel with no weight wouldn't do much.  Now there are Hirail trucks that can be used as locomotives such as the Canadian Brandt.  WWII saw lots of "innovatons" such as duece and a halfs and jeeps.

I am suspicious until I see proof.
