Here is a 1923 Ford Fordor Sedan I detailed out several years ago.
Not the best with the brush but better than leaving it all green.

Last night I painted/decaled this old Lionel Piggyback Trailer using HO decals and the wheels are from Revell tanker trailer

I have several 1/64 fire trucks and it’s pretty close. Compared to the current vehicles on my layout it’s pretty small

The car is a 1/43 Solido model.

Patrick Nic pic. Your pictures are getting better all the time.
O scale Lover. Nice. Pic with that Steamer thanks for posting. Thanks all for keeping this going
Well I didn’t do much yesterday kinda got rested up for today. I was able to work on this Corgi Diamond T 622. I always thought frame was goofy and killed the looks of the truck. So I married up a old Revell White 3000 frame to it. This is what I have so far.

Hi everyone...Its been sometime since I posted to this thread so I thought I would try to contribute today. I am a real Marx fan both of trains and toys so while the vehicles you will see are a bit of a stretch to any real prototype and a little too large for O'scale they have these great "MARX" hood decoration, so I couldn't resist. Also the Marx 5420 freight station in the picture is one of the largest of the Marx train buildings and so it also is a little big, so the vehicles don't look too bad. OBTW, for those of you that like details, the platform crane in the background is from Dinky and it was also marketed through Hornby.
Here is the front view, with the "MARX" name prominently on the hood.
The green stake bed truck it appears to have once had ladders due to the provision of hooks on the outside of the stakes, but those are long gone.
The pick up bed orange truck.
Both trucks with the Marx freight station in the back ground.
Its very hard to date these toys but I can do so in general. First they have to be from before 1972 when the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned tin metal toys and they are also post war as the styling is very 1950's and the tires are rubber as opposed to wood like early Marx trucks.
Enjoy! Best wishes for a Tuesday.

Patrick. I like that old Diamond T that curious truck driver is driving
Randy. Thanks for posting your pics I like that winter scene
Don. I’ve seen these trucks before but it was years ago they kind of resemble a Chevrolet steel cam from the mid 60s thanks for posting and contributing to my thread
