I actually saw a truck painted in C&NW colours a week or so ago - think it was operated by a parcel delivery company but it was definately in C&NW yellow and green! Wonder if the company that ran it realised (probably not!)

*thinks* hmm, that paint scheme might suit my Discovery, yellow bodywork and green roof...?

You are definately a model railroader when your collection IS the house.
...when your house looks like a passenger station.
... you have to buy a bigger house to fit your layout.
.... HONEY... DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR MY HUMP YARD????

When choosing a new car, you have two criteria:

1) It must be big enough to move building materials and completed layout sections around

2) You can find a HO scale (or whatever scale you model) version of it to paint the same way as your real car (Incidently, does anyone know if any manufacturers produce a Land Rover Discovery in HO, as I've searched everywhere I can think of and found nothing!)

As an architect, I measure buildings frequently. Every time that I read off the tape measure " 4'-8 1/2" " I think, "standard guage"...

There's a picture of a van painted up in BNSF colours at www.railfan.net/railpix/submit/subphoto.cgi?miscsubmit/bnsf_van_800.jpg . Besides vehicle paint schemes what kinds of licence plates do some of the people on this forum have?

That van is impressive. Too bad it isn't red and silver warbonnet with Santa Fe lettering.
