Speaking of inspiring, John, this Power Wagon has it all.  Your mastery of simulated rust shown in that side view is inspiring and you absolutely "nailed" the junk load.  Wow.  

I seem to recall that someone posted on this thread a while back that they were looking for an older model Power Wagon.  I have a more recent model by KiNSMART, probaby 1:43.  Who produced your version?

Excellent work!  And, I enjoyed the humorous nod to R&B, too.  Thanks for posting.

First of all thanks for posting. I like the weathering, you did a outstanding job and your back ground of the layout sets it off even more.

An assortment of vehicles on my layout.  The farm equipment on the flat car .. I bought the farm wagon and disc at my local grocery store for $1.00 each.

looks very nice those guys are very busy  always like that little barge wagon   Thanks for posting 

Today I worked on this old Berkshire Valley trailer I got from a friend around 2005. I add the suspension, landing gear,  and spare tire rack from the Revell Mobil tanker trailer 

Here’s a Mack B61 I’ve been working on 

Excellent!

Thanks Joe a few more goodies and I’m calling it done

Perfectly faded and weathered!  Not overdone... As mentioned, your background adds another touch of authenticity.  Excellent modeling and beautiful work!..  And where did you acquire this truck'?  I've always liked the power wagon'...

 

 

Lee, Joe, 

You’ve both delivered spectacular  results  with the wrecker and the power wagon.  Feel free to post a few more process photos as well as any parts/ accessory sources.  Great work!

Don

Oops...that would be John.  Sorry

John Sethian, great work on that power wagon!

Lee Drennen wonderful work on that trailer (shaky hand or not) and the Mack tow truck looks awesome, too! The Mack tow truck reminds me of the Tootsie toy tow trucks my Dad has, that we played with growing up on the train layout! You've got great skills building trucks, keep'em coming!

Worked a little on the trailer decals applied and mud flaps

Since I don't have any scenery on my "layout" yet, this will have to do.  I'm a General Motors guy, so about 85% of what I have is exactly that.  



 Below is a '38 panel truck bank.  Not sure why I picked the brown, but I'm most likely going to change that at some point.  Also filled in the coin slot.



A '57 Chevy that is still in progress.  Started out this light blue/teal/green.  Trying to get it to look like the real one below.  Currently stuck at interior color.


A '53 3100.  The black one was green and was identical to the one it is shown next to.  Lowered, wheel change, and removed spare wheel mount and hitch.


A White WC22 Dump that was previously Conrail and weathered.  I'm sure most think it looks better weathered, but my plan is to use this along with some First Gear items (all color white) to create a layout construction company.  Also, I made the error of not first removing the plastic "wood" on top of the dump before stripping the paint.  This melted some of the wood grain away.

Mike very nice collection. Those yatming cars are fun to re build. You did a great job on the white w22 also keep posting you updates  

Greetings Everyone,

Here's a New Ray 1/43 scale bucket truck that I added some LED lighting to.  As you can see, it's already on the job with the boss who's in the Tahoe.

 Very nice joe. Thanks for posting and a great scene

I’m calling this trailer done. Drilled out some hole for the tail lights and painted the mud flaps

Terrific scene!  I feel l'm right there in on the action with all those lights flashing.  And I like the NS choice.

When can we expect the bucket hydrolics to be fully functioning?  . But seriously, great job!

Bob,

It's nice to see a Dodge for some cruiser variety.  The lights really set off the car's styling.  Very sharp.

its a 1957 Road champs ford here’s some more pics I took for you guys 

Here’s some pics of the REA trailer I finished this week  I put it on the layout today

Dinky #181 Volkswagen from the late-1950s or so:

No interior, no window-glass...unless you're a tinplater, this is probably best relegated to the back of the layout.

PD

Bullitt Mustang with the King of Cool.  and the Bandit Trans Am.  In the bacground of the first Bandit pic is the Reagan Presidential Limo.  I don't have pics at the moment but I also have the Bluesmobile.

Ah, a Ford Fairlane.  I've always like their styling -- especially the four-doors.  Thanks for the extra photos, Lee.  There's lots of nice detail there.

All posters and readers on here probably saw the just ended Wiseman auctions of circa 1920? model Kleiber trucks.  I didn't bite because these were built in San Francisco (l think), and while found in logging in Far West, probably did not often get east of Sierras.  Wiseman offered a lot of separate sale bodies for these that could be slapped on a bulldog Mack.  Now if somebody posts a prototype picture of a Kleiber working in, say, Wisconsin woods, l would be interested.  Hard to find early trucks, and there were dozens of makes.

I picked this nice little model built up off ebay...

I liked it so well, I just had to get his older brother. I bought the kit off ebay as well. Here is how it turned out...

and a pic with his younger brother...

Finally have pictures of vehicles to post:  One 1937 IH is shown in coal group; three more IH with other bashed bodies and lengths remain to be posted.  Really glad to track down several of these Matchbox IH, as were everywhere when I was hanging out at RR station.

Here are pickups, and farm trucks, pre-1941, that service the sugar beet dump for my Great Western sugar beet plants

Man, this thread is full of fantastic photos!

I love antique cars and trucks, and here are a few from my train lay-out. The red Coke truck is my first-ever attempt at making a display out of paper. The fire engine is a gift from our foster son.

Here’s some more pic around the layout 

Mark, the old fellow looks just like his picture on the box.  Nice work.

 Very beautiful sence Lee thanks for posting I appreciate it
