CoolHand. Thanks for posting very nice looking freight docks. 

Ron. Great looking vehicles really like that police car 

Paul. Nice looking salvage yard and I like that old IH Transtar 

Lee, I’m glad you like my transfer dock. It still needs to be painted. The fun part about that Lionel piece is now the man pushing/pulling the hand truck is on a momentary switch. The action is now independent of the dock lights.

That’s a very nice touch I like it even more with the lights

PAUL ROMANO ,

In the early '70s, I worked at a gas station that had a Power Wagon wrecker.  That was an amazing truck.  One time I used it to push start an 18 wheeler.  That will $50 please.

We had them in the first Infantry Div. we used them for heavy vehicle recovery .  They weren't fast, but they could  push and pull just about anything...

                                            The fire is out! NJ Hirailers

Paul. Thanks for posting that beautiful Power Wagon very impressive

Paul. Love those Fire Trucks if you ever need some fire  apparatus look up Don Mills Models he’s been adding new fire equipment all the time 

Guys 

what a active week on the thread this week thanks for supporting it and keeping it going health and strong. 

                                   Divco milk delivery trucks at NJ Hirailers.

                                These trucks were all over when I was a kid.

Our Divco milk trucks were navy blue with cream lettering. By far better looking than Polk's in 1940s Indy. And we also had 1947/48 Chevy sedan panel delivery trucks in light brown and orange. I think it was a tobacco house that made home deliveries for cigars. They were always polished and no damage to them permitted.

Following the theme of DIVCO trucks, this one is lettered for the local dairy in Washington DC in the 1950's.  I custom made the decals, based on an old milk box I had.  I have no idea if Thompson owned DIVCO's.  But I think it looks cool:

Extending the DIVCO theme.

A friend from back home, her dad was a Borden's delivery man that drove one.

And to the time I was 10 Borden's delivery man brought our milk to the door from one of these.
