Like it! 

Not terminals, but REA transfer building.  Scratch built using foam board.  John in Lansing, ILL

Great work on that scratch build, John.

Here you go Kevin!

I'm working in a confined area, so things are a bit compressed.

Kevin - here you go -trucks need a place to check in - right!
Joe

One more shot.

Doing what I can in a confined space with a "traditional" layout...

Ok Kevin, how about the Marx version. It does take up some space.

Dean

Don, Joe and Dean... wonderful shots.  

Dean, you're right, that Marx version is huge.  Is that like 2 feet long?

LTL is a small, local freight terminal that, sadly, is now closed...truck side shown first...then track side...

I work with both trucks and trains on my job so this is really cool to see!  Thanks all for posting.

Here's one more of my Lionel Mi-Jack. It's a fun, although somewhat finicky, modern accessory.

Don,  it looks great and fits nicely.  I like the way you have Mi-Jack positioned with Gantry Crane.

Kevin, you nailed it. The Marx one is 2 feet long by about 11 inch wide by 9 inches tall. One of the nicest litho buildings Marx every did but it is hard to find room for on a small layout. On the Marx Train Pictures thread at https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...1#145297442899353561 others have posted pictures of their Marx Terminals on their layouts including the rare Maroon roof one if you are interested. You might have to scroll up a bit on page 4 to see the pics of the terminals.

Not a terminal but factory loading docks

Thanks Kevin for this topic. Being retired from Navistar I need something trucking related on my new layout.

Thanks Kevin for this topic.  

Agreed.  

Not a truck "terminal", but it is a truck:  

...picked this up a while back. It's a re-issue from 1995.

Speaking of "trucks": if you're ever in Oregon, just south of Salem is "Powerland Heritage Park", which is a big museum of equipment of all kinds, especially trucks. It's really a cool place...

I just have industrial loading docks of assorted flavors, brewery, etc., and railroad freight houses, and intention to add an REA terminal, as above.  I am always hunting models of period trucks.  There has long been a kit, in HO and O, of a small road/rail transfer bldg., designed for a slope, that appears in net auctions. Closest thing l have is a beverage distributor, reefers to back, truck dock on front. I once planned a 1930's independent truck plant, fictitious brand, but like Acme, Fageol, lndiana...long list, and then decided to build a space-gobbling creosote plant.

Not exactly a truck terminal.  It is part of my brewery complex which is comprised of the brewery itself ( Mr. Bo sits on this building keeping "an eye on things." ),  the barrel house where the blue Moosehead truck is at the loading dock, ( first photo ),  a the wholesale distributor with Bud trucks,  and the retail establishment  Silver Dollar Cafe.  

Here’s my C.E.S. Freight Terminal 

                                                   A little suds to cool you off at NJ Hirailers.

Those guys have been busy

Not quite a "terminal" yet ..... but getting there !

Have not built the terminal yet but most deffently have on since I have the trucks to put there!

Although this is no longer a part of our layout, SD3R, it is my understanding that it currently resides at the Old Town Model Railroad Depot in Old Town San Diego.

                                                        REA truck terminal at NJ Hirailers.

Here is one from my new layout featured in RUN 313.....

A Tyco HO ramped platform & separately sold operating warehouse butted to it. Dodge D series cab.(?)..... like a 60's A-100 or A-108, but bigger.

(cut some of the base away or build a small hill around it, keep the ramp?)

I have not checked in for quite a while on this thread that I started.  Looks like you folks have some great set-ups and photos of them.  Thanks for posting!

Looks like another NJ HiRailers scene. Nice! Been there a few times great place.
