Blueberryhill RR

This is not a train subject, but I thought you guys may find it interesting...........

A 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad..

This was a GM concept car, but never went into production.

Don't forget the turbine car that did go into production..all but forgotten now..waay cool. Rarer than a Voltamp Interurban ? Let me guess..Jay Leno probably has one. If he was into toy trains, there would be no variations left to buy. Wouder if it sounded like a PRR S1?

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

I pick up this car at the Toy Show yesterday. It is a model of a Russian made car from 1915. The model was also made in Russia.

My friend Rick recently acquired a Marx 6" wrecker.  Here it is on my layout today, attempting to re-rail a pre-war clockwork Commodore Vanderbilt that has split a switch.  The crew better make quick work of the re-rail, it has the crossover from the mainline into the yard blocked!

spankybird

So Chuck, is it at least 1/43 scale to fit on your layout?

No no no! It needs to be 3/16 scale!

Spankybird... I have never seen a model of the Corvette Nomad. If I did..... I'd put it on the layout, no matter what the scale.

A 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad..

Cool car, back in high school I had a 1956 Nomad, wish I had it today. When I received the greetings letter from President Johnson I sold it, should have stored it for the 2 years.

A Elgin Joliet & Eastern NW2 switcher pulls a line of boxcars past the Hobo encampment on the north end of the rail yard.

A good day of fishing at the cabin by the pond.

Have a good day,

Here's something that was sent to me recently.

It's a Fleischmann 0-4-0 I'm guessing of 70's vintage. I removed the hook and loop couplers and put in Kadee #148's in Kadee #242 draft gear boxes. It runs but is somewhat rocky and needs more work. For now it makes a nice little tourist attraction.




And I finally got the junkyard scene painted. The paint used is all water thinned latex house paint.
