I've been bogged down with school work (and work-work) but hope to post some recent Diecast Direct purchases some time. I didn't realize that my mail program began sending all Forum emails to my spam folder. Here I thought this thread was inactive. What fun it has been catching up with all the great posts and photos since January! 
Great job everyone!
Tomlinson Run Railroad
Busy day to today...a few new vehicles came on the scene, along with a many locals taking advantage of the newly opened transportation hub...bus and train stations! The Railway Express office opened for business to a steady flow of activity for a Sunday...take note of the spotting of two Railway Express cars placed for loading of outgoing freight

Nice image with the loading ramp. IIRC from a Bowling Green plant tour, Corvettes don't ship by rail because of the low production volume.
Brian. It’s about time you post that Vette getting loaded up
Brian, looks like your ramp needs to be a little higher!

Wow paul, things have certainly come to life'..your structures, and LPs look great. Nice looking scenes'.. Where did you get the figure in the red dress in front of the bus station?.. Your selection of figures and their placement have added a realistic touch'... 
Wow carpettrainman what a great downtown scene. I loved the Greyhound terminal what s great modeling job.
Briansilvermustsng. That ‘63 split window must be headed to s car show. Those are 6-7 figure cats today. Don’t scratch the paint
Don McErlean
Thanks Don
Ted, thanks for the comment...the lady in the red dress in front of the bus station is a Preiser. I believe she's a 1:45 scale...as you tell, those figures are very detailed She must be friends with the three standing by the '55 yellow Chevy at the intersection!
Don, yes, the Greyhound terminal is a nice piece from MTH. Until I hit the lights tonight, I had forgotten the "Greyhound" marquis blinks on and off....a nice feature.
Lee, I agree it's nice to see Brian's '63 silver Vette loading up...great scene, Brian! I'll be placing my '63 silver Vette on the layout pretty soon.
'63 Split Window - doesn't get any better than that !
Pic's of a couple of new additions.
Richie, very nice trucks........I have a very similar Harley van except mine doesn't have the spare tire or sun visor but does have bumpers.
That's very cool, Ray - mine also has a gold colored headlight assembly and radiator grill and, for whatever reason, it has more of a hot rod look even though it's a business van. $6 on DD and $4 for the brown Chevy stepside - couldn't pass them up.
Richie your right it has some "Rat Rod" in it, what a great deal you made.
I have 2 '63 Split window Corvettes. They are by Road Champions. They took turns at the charity car wash at McDonald's. Red and Beach Boys blue. 
Richie. What a great deal like the both I don’t have either one I really need to get that 55 Chevy thanks for posting
Ray. Yours looks good too
Gary. Great pics as always those are some nice shots

Two sharp-looking trucks there, Buddy!
I also have one of the 1930 Chevrolet panel trucks. Mines a bank,with visor and spare tire,made by Ertl. Looks right at home in front of the Parts Department.
While waiting on my parts I thought I would start another Circus Wagon
The "Young's" panel truck I picked up is also by ERTL and says it is part of a series of 7, so that may account for the different variations.
Lee - I didn't notice it until I saw the pic I posted here, but the brown '55 Chevy stepside is two tones of brown - the cab is slightly darker brown than the bed. It appears the cab is diecast, but the bed is plastic, so that may account for the difference.
Also, picked this roadster up with side windows.
