Thanks Rolland for pointing me to the decals.  Your work inspired me. They look great.  I will check out Diecast Direct for the panel van.   I have only found 1 Chevy Blazer in O scale.   It is a 1969 Blazer, 1:43 and way overpriced.   I may have to bite the bullet.

I have the '69 Blazer and the windows plus other detail points are not correct for the '75 K5 Blazer used on the AFT.  There is a Matrix '78 Blazer that, while still slightly off, is much closer (and much more expensive).  Here is my '69 that I tried painting, but I will get the '78 and have a better painter do it.

...The wagons are finished,  the Clark 40 forklift is finished and Hank is currently working on the 75 Chevy Blazer.

Is your nephew printing these items?  I have not found a 1:43 model of a forklift that even remotely looks like the '72 Clark IT-40/Type G.  If he is making one of these forklifts I may ask to see if he will make another.  Here is the one I bought and painted and will use until I find something better.

I have all the decals but I am not going to use them until I get more correct vehicles and have them painted a lot better than these.

I do not plan to take the wagons or vehicles off the AtlasO 89' flatcars for any kind of static display, so I am not looking for the other cars.

I like what you are doing with your wagons.  My wagons are being 3D printed for me by Alan (Alanrail).  The ones in these pictures were test runs and not the final products.  The GGD combine was modified and painted by Tom (forum member Krieglok).

I corresponded with Todd Schannuth many years ago then forgot about using him as an asset to help in the design.
