I have read the  thread here numerous times, Lets see your 1/43rd and 1/50th Cars and Trucks with some fantastic looking vehicles.

We in "S" gauge have some pretty nice vehicles, I didn't want to pirate their thread so I thought to start one of our own.

'Sabout time.

I run Marx O-27 3/16 stuff.  That's S scale running on O tracks.  A lot of Plasticville is closer to S than O, too.  As a result I have ended up with more cars than Avis.  Most are 1?64 with some a bit larger or smaller.

I'll start entering pics of what I have, but not will be in a scenery shot because I haven't got much scenery (or tracks....or bases....or much of anything but a vast pile of unbuilt Marx and Little Town, etc. buildings and pieces and a whole herd of cars, trucks, trailers, motor homes, lunch trucks, and such like.) and a lot of it still requires some restoration or modification.

Someday....

RadoiRoy,

I guess I am not familiar with what you have mentioned in your post. Are these currently available or are these from the distant past?

Any pics?

Ray

They came in post grape nuts flakes (blah!) in the middle fifties through the early sixties. The earlier ones were better, IMO.

There are still a lot o cars I'd like to see, like a '54 Dodge Royal Lancer, a ' 70 1/2 Firebird Formula 400, a decent MGA, a '68 Datsun 1600 Fairlady Roadster, any '49-'60Nash, Packard, Hudson, and Kaiser-Fraser products, M151 "Jeeps", Austin Healy Sprite "frog eye roadsters, Merc Turnpike Cruisers, Chrysler and / or Dodge station wagons,  TR3-3A and a host of others.

Here is another small road scene. It has one of my PRR freight trucks and a blue 1953 Olds 2 door sedan. The train blocks the view of two more trucks.

The green REA car is new, it is from the most recent Lionel AF catalog. It matches the 2007 PRR passenger car set except the lighting has been changed to LED. Obviously the color is not Tuscan.

AmFlyer: Yes, they're perfect for Plasticville.  They fit nicely in the gas stations and fire station (how about that red station wagon for a fire chief's car?).

Rayin"S": That's a great idea for the hauler.  The cars weigh next to nothing; an entire train of loaded Auto Loaders would hardly weigh more than if empty.

Here are two diecast VWs in 1/64.  The yellow German-made VW1300 by Sicu is decorated in a safety motif and identified on the box as a "Car Club Patrol Car".  The green Malaysia-made Hot Wheels (1988) is of a pre-1958 VW and has "Getty" on the roof.
