@RustyJ - You asked who made the locomotives I showed for the AF and Navy train.  They are just "stock" BEEP's from RMT although they are likely 10 years old.  I didn't add any details so that is just they way they came out of the box.

Thanks for the comment

I posted a photo to you of what I have been up against and letting you know you might not want to committ your pretty BEEPs! lol

Love the 2.5 ton.  I used to drive one in the early 80's during my time.  Although, your model looks a little earlier.  I'd LOVE to find the correct scale Gamma Goat, as I was assigned one of them and used to sleep in the back of it.   The only model I can find is too big for O scale.   If anyone has a GG I'd LOVE to see it.

@Mark V. Spadaro  Really nice work.  The markings look more Korean War than WWII.  What era are you modeling?

Ron - you flatter me. I don’t model anything or any era in particular. Whatever catches my eye is my “era”. I got a few military cars at a train show years ago from RGS, and they survived Sandy. As to what era RGS intended they represent, I don’t know. My knowledge of anything military is simple - it’s either a Sherman tank, or it’s not! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Here is the latest running of my military train at the Delaware Seaside Railroad Club holiday show at the Georgetown Public Library:

         

    The train was pulled by a Legacy PRR I1 Decapod (they did a great job on this engine). The kids really liked all the car loads of Sherman Tanks, M10 Tank Destroyers, Priests 105mm howitzers and 21/2 ton trucks.

Here is my original video of my Military trains at the Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers in Bethlehem Pa:

     

  This was back in 2013, train is pulled by a PRR 2-8-8-2 TMCC and a PRR 2-10-4 TMCC both converted to 4 chuffs by Alex M. I forgot to mention the armored cars and half tracks.
