O Scale Vehicles - Your Favorite?

Favorite 1:43..only Because I have the 1:1 

 

 

Studebakers and Nashes. I have them for real and like them in miniature.

one muscle car to rule them all

 

Wow guys, there are some great cars here.  Keep them coming!

Its definitely the Mack B Type from Corgi in Ballantine beer

 

 

 

DeHanes mad a White 3000 cabover that I like in Rheingold colors  A little undersized but nice.   The Athearn Ford tractors alos look pretty good with the Weaver 35 fot trailers

 

 

Any markings on that? What's the overall length?

That's a WW2 era GMC GCCW 2 1/2 ton truck (wheeled vehicles didn't have "M" designations until after WW2 was over). The version in 'Nam (most often the M-35 series once the war was really going) was a couple of designs past this one.

Let's see....favorite diecast.....what else?......Caddy's and Impalas!

Here are just a few of my favorites.

1947-48 DeSoto taxi.

1936 Buick taxi.

1954 Buick Century.

I am also a fan of the Corgi fire apparatus (apparati? ) - my favorite is peeking out from behind Ivor here: 

They're completely outside of my target setting, but I couldn't simply not get them:




All three vehicles are by Jada Toys.  Tyrannosaurus rex and Indominus rex are by LEGO.

I hope some day to add Conrail and Amtrak trains to supplement my steam PRR and contemporary Norfolk Southern interests. I have two vehicles in anticipation of that day. The 1999 Crown Victoria is a Road Champs that I recently picked up on eBay.  It is my favorite vehicle.  I've long been partial to the Massachusetts State Police paint job and matching troopers' uniforms. The car is posing in front of the Wright Tavern in Concord, Mass.

 

Before I got the Crown Vic, the 1987 Dodge Ram Pickup from Premium X Models was my favorite due to its fine detail for a reasonable price.  It is posing in front of the Ayer Junction commuter station, which also has a freight line passing through. I really like Dodge's current styling and hope to add some cars for my NS run when I find some in my range (cheap).

Just bought this thursday! -David

Heres mine

Construction vehicles in 1:50 scale

 

 

My favorite is my Corgi Baltimore & Ohio transfer bus.

 

Ooh, I like that, Chas! 

I like all the TinTin cars here's one

This little Ford

This is an almost copy of my Betty a 1955 Bentley

 

If I had a postwar layout, I'd for sure have a Tucker Torpedo on it somewhere. I've seen several of them in museums over the years. There's a very good condition one at the Lemay museum somewhat near where I live (and I'm also a member there) and I never get tired of looking at it. Here are a couple of shots I took of it on the opening day of the museum:

 

My parents live in Tallahassee, Florida and there's a museum there with another Tucker, along with the mockup Tucker (a Studebaker, I think) used in the wreck scene in the movie about Tucker himself. The two make a great display there...

Another TinTin one this time a Swiss air bus.

Sorry for the double pictures not sure what is going on missing text and now this

A great one from the late 1950's - 1960's a French sight seeing coach.

"Construction vehicles in 1:50 scale"

 

l would have never guessed. 

The exotic cars are nice but I wish they made more late 40s early 50s common cars. Fords, Plymouths, Chevys in original boring colors. Don

 

Man, this really reminds me of the bus from the classic 70s movie, "The Big Bus":

 

Two vehicles.

 

Any 1970's NY MYA Fishbowl Bus (SIRT had some photos earlier in this thread) reminds me of my youth, and a late 1970's Trans Am like this one.

 

 

 

Sure the Trans Am had its detractors, but I've always loved them, although never owned one.  If I was mechanically inclined, I would own a 1979-1981 Turbo Trans Am (in White & Blue like the photo, not the Smokey & Bandit colors).  But as I can't repair a car, and the CEO would never permit me to spend the high $$$ on one of the professional restored ones, a dream it will remain.  As far as she's concerned, if I can pay high $$$ on a 35-year old car, then I have should no problem buying a new $40K + SUV, LOL

 

Did I mention I love GM Fishbowl buses?  (Photo I took at my desk this evening)  The Green one is a Busch HO Scale, the Blue one I bought off Feebay and is 1/72 scale.

 

 

RailKing Greyhound bus.  Have several. These are used with my RailKing Greyhound bus station.

 

 

My Greyhound station with an MTH Railking bus and the B&O transfer bus in the background.

 

This one is diecast in 1:24 scale.  Would like similar vehicles in 1:48 scale.

 

 

I AM OFFENDED!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

That you didn't take it out of the box. Production on all Dukes stuff ends 12/31/15 so if you want one...get it now. 

 

My favorite is not allowed on the layout....too new!!!

 

 

But I own a 1/1 scale version....so I had to have it. I may sneak it on for a 'Back to the Future' like moment now and then, 

That was the bus in The Calculus Affair. If you guys have never read the Tintin comics get them or give them to your grandkids. Asterix too.

NYCTA artic.

If you ever get East, I recommend stopping at the (rather obscure) Swigart Museum, in Huntingdon, PA.  They have two Tuckers, including the Tin Goose prototype.

 

My own layout (set vaguely in 1935-55) has both a Tucker and a '54 Kaiser parked by the schoolhouse.

 

I love my 1/48-1/50 scale late 1954 Dodge Royal lancer 2 door hard top..... if anyone made one.  That was my first car, light cream and sea foam green.

Booklin made a convertible, and I think it even came in that color combination. Not sure about a hardtop. Check eBay - the '54 Dodge is frequently found. 

Here are two Brooklin Dodges...top up & top down.
