Hey Ray, have the driver of that truck get it over to the wash rack ASAP'
The wash rack or the paint booth? Which one?
MELGAR
years of neglect....can't wash that off
Just got this 1964 1/2 Mustang. First time I have seen one that is properly labeled for the 64 1/2 production (Ford brought the car out early). Wife and I had one just like this except it was Maroon back in the day (yea - ' 64 1/2 !) . Its a little big at 1/36 but it was a small car so its not too bad. Im a tinplate guy mostly so this will fit in especially given my personal connection with this car. Bought at Walgreens for $5.99

Nice find Don, One of my older brothers bought the 64/1/2 also, it was the coolest car on the road. He was recently discharged from the Army and hired by the NYFD. So, this was his treat to himself. I remember when he took us for ride, boy those rear seats were tight. His was but of course, Fire Engine Red'.... I was only 12, so he wouldn't let me drive it........ But it was a cool car', and the current Mustangs are still very cool cars'....
A couple of Kinsmart Chevrolets on the layout: a ‘53 3100 pickup and a ‘55 Nomad wagon.

Ray, I like that black and white Crown Vic'... Nice shot'...
I recently got a shipment from Forum sponsor Diecast Direct. Here are two of the models, both Ford F-1s, and both 1:43. On the left, a Yat-Ming/Road Signature 1948. On the right, a Greenlight 1951:
Both pickups are loaded up and headed for Chef Chuck Wagon's railroad commissary. The items in the 1951 F-1 are intended for Chef's diner if I ever manage to return to working on it. (The pink formica on the tiled counter will be toned down some day.) I love the detail of the tire under the truck bed. In fact, the under carriages of all the Greenlight models I got are very nicely done. (These are my first Greenlight models.) The Coke in the '48 is for the work crew:
Here's a (reduced) xerox of a cartoon I did over the summer that explains why I had to have these two models ...
You can see how much larger the cab and window of the '51 are, but the truck beds are roughly the same size:
The two-toned interior detail and the upholstery are nice touches:
A detail that I expected to see but isn't present is the name "Ford" across the hubcaps. There's a groove where I would expect it to go, but that's it. The '48 has it:
I'll post photos of my other purchases as time allows. Enjoy!

Hi Clifford, Can you tell me what this great looking interurban (?) is? And that parking lot line detail next to the Bel Air Nomad (?) is really nice! What a fine looking layout with lots of running action, too.

TOMLINSOMERR: Those a really beautiful Fords. The detail visible in the close up of the '51 is really astounding. Forefront pieces for sure. Thanks for sharing

Same truck after the cargo compartment was painted black and signs(trimmed from their fliers) applied. If you aren't familiar with the name, Boar's Head is a company which distributes cheeses and meats.
