Context:

I've been fascinated with this thread so I decided to contribute my efforts to recreate a warehouse on my Midland Division of the New Haven RR at the time of the PC merger. The railroad occupies about 1800 sq ft and operates with full waybills, interchanging with the B&M, B&A, NYC and CV northbound; south and west with the PRR and others through Greenville car floats and Maybrook.

G Fox was a major retailer of the period, having a flagship store in Hartford Ct rivaling Filene's, Macy's, etc. Their delivery trucks were ubiquitous!

The box truck is based on an Athearn Ford tractor with the fifth wheel removed and the chassis built from styrene. The box body was "kit bashed" from an old Lionel pup trailer, cur and fitted with a new styrene front. Decals were custom made using logos from online sources. Any suggestions from truck model era would be welcome!
