John,

Gary's truck looks to me like a CMW WC22.  Walther's has them listed.

Good luck,

Richard

Yes, the truck tractor is a CMW model. It looks okay with the Athearn trailer in the photo taken at that angle. However, the trailer is undersized based on the distance between the dual wheels on the axles. 

Back to the show me request. (maintenance or repair work)

Maintenance or repair:

A mechanic draws a crowd as he frees up a jammed break shoe on RS-32 #2030.

How about more maintenance or repair work?

Jordan models include a black Ford, an old bus, and some baggage wagons.

There are other makers of vehicle kits. Please show a kit built vehicle from any manufacturer. More than one if you wish.

Hello Gary, I have a question about the tractor that's hauling the Athearn 25' trailer. what brand is it and does it size up well with those trailers. My layout is based on Athearn 25' trailers, but the Athearn tractors are a little to big when you match them up with the 25' trailers.

Thanks! John

Just have to say "THANKS" to all of you for posting your pictures.  What a treat to see for a non talented train runner.

Thankyou all.

When I built my layout it was in two sections with a furnace in between.  Then I moved and connected the two sections, necessitating a scenery patch.  Here's a before, during, and after:

I used Great Stuff to form a contour:

Then plastered and textured:

I feel pretty good about the results.

Show me a Jordan Highway Miniatures product.

 This little guy is my current hard worker; when I get a loco running right, I tend to "run the wheels off of it."  This 0-4-0 didn't run when I got it.  I swapped out the motor and added rail wipers.  Now it runs so well that it's the every day runner.

Show me a freelanced project.

"Something that has earned its keep."

This little BLI Mikado has had its wheels run off by my grandsons since it arrived on the layout in 2004. Never a problem.

Show me another 'hard worker' from your layout.

Karl,

I'm not sure if you have this ad in the USA but Aussies have been watching this one for a while now. Certainly grabs your attention the first time. It's on free to air TV.

Show me something Green AND Yellow

Having had a good Laugh I should honour Karls request.

Once upon a time a young handsome,charming, highly intelligent, and, did I mention, extremely modest chap weighted, put in windows, and painted an Athearn BB Wide Vision Caboose in his factitious railroad colour scheme. All that was required to finish the project was some decals and a little weathering.

Imagine, if you will, his chagrin when he found out that wide Vision Cabooses hadn't  been built until after his modeled timeframe. Bang Head Bang Head Embarrassed

Not that anyone else would do such a thing,but could someone show me something that really shouldn't be on their layout, but they like it anyway?

Cheers, the Bear.

Show me something risqué.

I see my compatriots are not as brave (or foolhardy) as I. Wink
I could show you my topless bathers, or a Private Rail car on its way to a hedonistic convention of sorts, but I wont go there, for the quick Physical shock. Instead I'll let something more cerebral into the ring. Note, the billboard, and the subliminal message.  (you may have to double click the pic to see better) Smile, Wink & Grin
Show me something Green AND Yellow

I was inspired by Petticoat Junction to leave the roof off of my water tower (at some point I'll add the Bradley girls):

We do not have ANY way to pick up TV so I have only seen trailers of "Hell on Wheels" on internet.  But you might see a 4-4-0 that is not actually live steam.  This N model is sort-of self-powered but not very reliably.  I probably need to get some kind of cheater power- like I understand they do with the "Hell on Wheels" trains.

 

This is a transcontinental railroad diorama I built for a history class I taught.

Show me something railroady with a connection to movie or TV show.
