I never got around to decorating it.

Anyone have an unusal speeder?

Have a good one.

Not a speeder, but a track inspection car.  Mine was made from a Sylvan kit, but I couldn't find any suitable wheels.  The ones shown were punched from sheet styrene, but I didn't have a big enough punch...

It's based on one used by the prototype TH&B, although theirs was a Chrysler.  It had an interior jack in the centre of the vehicle, and when lowered, it raised the car off the tracks, allowing the operator and a helper to turn it around.

Show me another unusual rail vehicle, please.

An incredibly realistic scene, DrWayne.  I thought I was looking at the prototype.  Only the lack of wires between the utility poles gave it away.  Fine craftsmanship!

In my era they were mostly fourteen-wheelers. Does that count?

More big trucks, please.

No big trucks on my late '30s layout, but I just wanted to send my belated "Thanks" to Mister Mikado, Lee, and Ed for their very kind and generous remarks. Big Smile

Wayne

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming and "More big trucks, please."
