@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

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?
The factory has been parking Jeep's here to get ready to load them onto flatcars. These were all 3D printed with no painting. Even the stars are small 3D printed segments.

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.
