Got Fruit?

That's a lot of Vitamin C!!  Very nice.  

Really nice. Is the building in the top picture attached to the building in the second picture or is it two different scenes?

Tropicana oranges showing up at a Sunkist distributor? ... horrors! 

any idea what he used for the oranges themselves?

cheers...gary

Wow, this is another outstanding project by Harry.  I really like how the pictures capture and highlight the small details with perfect depth of field - also the attention to areas inside or under cover in the buildings and the rail car.  Thanks a lot for sharing them.

That looks great Brian. Harry has the touch.

"you're not thinking about coming over to the dark side  an going with steam engines are you?"

Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I do admire the workmanship. Harry is such a talented guy. And Pat, I believe it is the same building, just different views.

Another great example of Harry's talents!  Beautiful pictures too.

Art

Very cool!

Spence, forgot to mention, I do have steam engines but they are ALL used in passenger service. 

Very nice. Great work!

Sweet!

That is really a great item by Harry. Thanks for posting the pictures Brian.

Realistic at its best. Harry is a tremendous talent. Thanks for posting. 

Beautiful work - but isn't putting the Model B Ford trucks and the double-plug-door insulated boxcar together a bit of a time warp?

Another first class project from Harry, well done.

Nice idea, but the box car detracts for that era or scene.

These professionally weathered 1940’s cars would have made the scene more believable.

I would have taken a sanding stick to those posts as well along with using 2r tracks imbedded into cobblestone.

Nice scene and modeling; bet, the driver of the p/u on the right has some explaining to do on the damaged front bumper.

I like it.

Looks fantastic. Harry does some amazing work.

"The seeds have been planted for the addition of a juice consist to the passenger train rosters!

 

Maybe the passengers would not notice if you put the Tropicana Juice cars up front with the baggage and mail cars in the consist. Just drop them off before pulling into the station. "

 

This is hysterical. I love the "seed line", very clever.

 

 

 

Thanks, glad you saw the humor.

The Daylight Cab Forward is pretty fruity...

Sweet !!

Cant wait to see this in person, the client is one of the TMB members

Nice scene.

Yesterday I stopped in the post office. in the waiting time I start looking around and I found a nice set of Fruit Stamps. For building advertising IMO looks fantastic, the graphics are sharp and very colorful.

Andre.

Great modeling, except for the problem with too many or wrong year of Fords (what we are all stuck with), and the "through the wormhole" boxcar.  While in my modeled area I'd need to put up a greenhouse to grow an orange tree, I have discovered that there were other kinds of fruit packing houses on the east and west slopes of the Rockies.

There were tomato packers in Indiana (Atlas has an app..er, a car, for that), I found

a postcard of a central Ohio packing complex, so packing of vegetables or fruit can

work with other than oranges.  Given the fruit that comes out of Oregon and Washington, there ought to be a lot of photos of packing houses there, and a use

for such a building many places in the past.

Andre,

I agree. The stamps would make great advertising for Model Railroads. If only they would come without the "Forever" and "USA" on them they would be perfect for a fruit packing plant of a fruit stand. 

A little scan and edit would take care of that. The U.S. Government ordinarily allows free use of its images, so long as you're not counterfeiting the stamps, money etc. If you notice, the value is almost always lined out on images of stamps for just that reason.

Using the image would also make them scalable if you wanted smaller crates and such.

"The Daylight Cab Forward is pretty fruity..."

John, you are absolutely correct. The Cab Forward, like fruit when ripe, is really sweet and good for you. Thanks for the comparison. 

I am still hoarding sheets of circus stamps USPS came out with that would be great on

the backs of buildings, old wooden fences, etc....I will have to check out these fruit

stamps...

Given what was just said by "B.T., & G.M.". bopping into Staples and getting some

color print handling done should work.

Substitute the definition of fruity you used with the other, more commonly recognized definition. 

Here's one for you.

want some fruit crate labels?

Google "fruit crate labels"  (images)...

some are small compared to their original size, but almost all are larger than 1:48.

cheers...gary
