Excellent video Erik and it looks like you finished your modules in time for the show. Okay, 1:51 seconds into the video, rear shot of a 56 Chevy looking up the street towards Mickey D's. Is that real or module? If module, were did you get that 56 Chevy? No license plate might be the only give away. Nice job.

Butch! Thank you very much. That is a model, I am flattered.
This is the original image.
An alternate edit showing an obvious Kodak Brownie moment of a blurred new Chevy going in front of the photographer.
Untouched different angle
I believe it is a U.S. Models Mint 1/43 hand built.
here is one on eBay:

You can buy them cheaper just keep a look out at shows. I think I paid $35 for mine maybe 8 years ago.
I collect the models that are common looking like this piece. I try to avoid open convertibles or bright red corvettes with chrome overload. It's all part of the illusion and smoke and mirrors.
I really struggled at the show; all the die cast collectors wanting to know where I bought this car, truck, that car etc. I could spend all day doing that! I tell them start looking on eBay, these are all hand built English, Argentinan, and many other manufacturers. They come and go. These new resin cars today by Neo and Minichamps are really nice; but that one unique car that has not been made you need to dig.
You know we have 2 guys from Kansas, Hays and Wichita that come up to run trains; Oklahoma is not much farther. Your welcome anytime we set up and that goes for anyone.
Thank you Butch.

That was one of the best videos that I have ever seen. It looks like everything came together nicely, such excellent scenery work and the buildings/streets are beyond exceptional. I really think that you all have created a spectacular layout Erik, what a treat to view. Thank you and the other members for creating such a beauty.
Great video work, Erik.
Really Tops!! those images are so close to real, I only know there models because you tolled us. cTr....(Choose the Right)
Please forgive this question. I loved the video and all the trains.
Who's music was that? I really liked the song too! (nice guitar playing)
