Don Mills (?) vehicles

[dknelson]

The guy who drives the courtesy van where I take my car is a model railroader. This morning he was raving about the vehicles he buys made by (and here I am not sure I am getting the name right) "Don Mills." This is a new name to me. He says the mack truck have a very accurate bulldog, turn signals, mirrors and other features. Does anyone know more about this maker which evidently is not found in local hobby shops. Thanks in advance for any help ....

Hi Dave, have bought the Mack truck and it is excellent, a little pricey though, Try Truckstopmodels.com they carry Don Mills Models.

Dave,
I thought they would be located in the Toronto area, but it turns out his shop is in the Seekonk, MA - Providence, RI area. Did a Google search, and found a thread through the 1-87 vehicle club. The Don Mills web site can be reached using the URL: <http://www.donmillsmodels.com>. He has resin kits in both 1/48th and 1/87th scales.

Thank you fellow. These websites were interesting to me for a variety of reasons. the Don Mills truck info (and they really do look great, particularly in O scale but also in HO) is part of a larger truck/bus website that is exceptionally interesting.
And speaking as an old timer it is great to see the old Ulrich truck line being brought back. If you model 1948 to 1970 or so these are the era trucks you'd want. I wonder if they intend on bringing back any of those Ulrich freight cars such as the outside braced gondola, or the solid metal two bay hopper. Nothing looks more like painted metal than painted metal (in my opinion).

According to the Ulrich home page, "Freight Cars" they are doing a G-50 gondola.
