Actually Coach, it wasn't as difficult as you might think. Cut a little here, paste a little there, using all sytrene plastic makes it fairly easy. Fabricating and fitting full interiors into the cabs took a little longer.

Tootsietoy tractor with block of wood trailer. Drilled out dowel rods for the trailer's rims and tires. Hobby and trade magazines have signs for vehicles, sides of buildings and billboards.

Tootsietoy tractor and block of wood trailer. If you live in the Calumet Region, chances are you'll have something about Standard Oil on your steam era railroad.

Athearn truck with block of wood trailer. Tape for stripes. The trucks are not detailed models, they are 'put something here' items on a room size layout and are at least ten feet from our visitors.

John, those trucks look great. I love your paint jobs and graphics. Your simple approach to the trailer is quite a good idea. Nicely done. thumb
