This bird is from Tichy, modified somewhat to better-cope with Canadian winters...

The Theater on Mr. Muffins Lionel layout in Atlanta, Indiana is showing Gone With The Wind. That is more appropriate for Atlanta, Georgia.

Show me another theater or any other place where people go to get away from it all.

Ed: "Show me something else being unloaded."

The Black River team track crew is transferring a couple of machinery crates from the flat car to a semi for delivery.

More things being unloaded, please.

Probably not exactly what you wanted...

...but I don't think that 18 wheelers for road-use were around in my layout's era.

Wayne

So, to continue with Kevin's request, how about showing us one of those 18 wheelers that better matches his expectations.

Publix trucks are my favorite. This one is on the Pasco County Model Railroad Club's portable train show layout.

18 wheelers did not generate much response... I will open it up a bit.

Please show me any truck with 6 or more tires.

Kevin: "Please show another maintenance or repair vehicle."

Nothing exotic, just a couple of NYC maintenance vehicles parked near Grafton Tower and the team track.

More MOW vehicles rail or rubber tired.
