That is a beauty! I have been looking for an O scale (1:43 to 1:50) Model A and haven't found one so far. I see that B&A caboose in your photo. One of my favorite railroads.

MELGAR

Vehicles doing their thing in Patsburg.  In the bottom two photos I used mirrors to add depth to the scene. 

I have one of these on the way, a 1/43 scale Chevy WW2 1.5 ton truck, out of Estonia. They're only marketed for Eastern Europe (beats me why, as I think they'd sell well over here). In the states in 1943, they had plenty of them so I was surprised to see a decent model in the scale I want, finally.

When it gets here, I will strip off the Russian markings. I already have decals for a truck like this (like I used on the other WW2 vehicles on the layout). I might get rid of my 1/43 scale Studebaker S-series 2.5 ton after this model is in place, as I don’t have a lot of room and those weren’t very common. All these larger trucks were only sold in Eastern Europe, oddly (even the GMC CCKW, a very common truck in the US). I ordered all of them from across the pond and none came cheaply...

Really like those beer trucks but the horse drawn wagon is great. I am modelling a loose simulation of the building on the right of the main brewery left. There is a horse and loaded wagon in the center. Your use of mirrors is a nice touch.

Did someone say "beer truck" ?

Thank you for taking my back home so many decades ago.  My friend restored Model A's.  His own was paint a similar dark green.  On a summer evening I was there, he said let's go for a ride.  We must have drove around for the better part of 2-hours.  We were the envy of everyone passing by.

Certainly can't claim this as scale, although it's close to 1/43...a Corgi Cooper-Maserati from roughly 1967 or so:

Can't vouch for the set-up or the livery, but it's a very cool toy. Lean the driver right or left and the steering rack cuts in that direction. Ingenious...

PD 

I heard Beer trucks too!!

The bulk milk truck.

I can't believe I still remember this, but an old Mad Magazine when I was a kid mentioned a Dairy called, "Moo Juice Dairy" and if I had modelled anything with whimsey, I would have put that name on the side of such a truck...

From a while back. Autographed by Neil Young but never bothered to get Dick Kughn's signature.

Lee - wonderful idea!  You have inspired me.  Moo Juice Dairy is now on my list of things to create.   Many thanks!

Let me know if you ever do. The original idea came from their "Facts of Life" parody in Mad Magazine. I just looked it up, the reference was in "The Yaks of Life" in the December 1982 issue, according to Wikipedia.

I have no idea how I can remember that so clearly!

I just got my 1/43rd scale Chevy 1.5 ton truck, out of Estonia. I was very surprised, as I got the model in just 12 days from the order.
Hopefully, with some of that testors Evo stuff, I can remove the few markings on this thing and go to work on it right away. I'm very, very happy with the quality of this model, and though it wasn't cheap I'm very glad I got one!

Here is a German Super Tiger on a US Flat Car as a capuured German Tank.

This is a great looking model and one of my favorite early Fords.  I'm curious about the accordion-like attachment at the back of the running board.  Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

Sidehack can you tell us who made your Model A?  Thanks, I had to use a 32' and paint the grille shell to make a fake Model A, 5 window for my barn find scene.
