in addition to the menards question I had last night. Has anyone tried looking for a moderately priced world war 2 jeep for the US army? I found a lot that I liked but we're not to scale. I'm looking for 1/43 1/50 1/48. These will me mounted on flat cars eventually. I found the Sherman's I was looking for and ambulances. But I'm having s head time with the jeeps. Eventually this will be a world war 2 supply train. Vehicles on flat cars pulled by aPennsylvania 2-8-0. If time and money allow

No help on the Jeep but Menards does have a lot of Military flats and boxcars. Now some are not to scale but to me they are close enough. Actually they vary I think between 1/43 and 1/50 as the Mack flat bed looks a little big to me compared to the rest but does okay. 

Your engine sounds great for pulling. I have PRR scale GG1 by Williams pulling one line of them and then I have the Marine F unit pulling some more and the Army switcher puling a few more of them.

I was looking at the menards stuff with the deuce and half, and the what looked like ford panels to me. They're already on my list. I found some Corgi  US Sherman's and half tracks as well as dodge ambulances. I did find jeeps but they're either for foreign armies and/or have trailer with them. I'm just looking for the jeep itself. Also I'd like to see some pictures of your stuff. It'll make it easier explaining it to the wife

RTrainCollector: Here's Hoping you get healed up soon.

AVRConductor; I hear you, Scale willy jeeps are hard to find. Many ezist but are actually over scale. The 1948 Willys was only 4 feet wide. I remember it well, I learned to drive in it, wish I still had it.  Now, those jeeps with the trailer look good, I'd grab a bunch and is need be toss the trailers.

I got a batch of the bay, half of them are Brown camo and will get a repaint. Yes, they are BIG for WW2.
