This is the truck I did for the video. Brian Bollinger ended up with this and a copy went to Tom Langford.

Another coal truck built for Bob Seckler using the LJ Mack. Sorry for the poor photo.

Another poor photo of a Autocar U-90 cabover with a Alloy forms delivery body. Jimmy D bought this and others from me and they were probably found with the layout dismantling.

This a kitbash I did with the R-200 nose and the RDFC cab. I did this trying to persuade George to do this as a kit.. He didn't bite! :-\

Even though this is a Walther's (Magnuson) cab, I used Sheepscot wheels and the trailer is a Sheepscot 24' trailer. This and the trailer behind it were built for Brian Bollinger for a display model.

Another C-90 that actually made it to the topside of the Pennsy. The body was a very small run made by George before being scrapped.

This is a copy of a page from the 1/87th group. Half the trucks in the photo are one's that I sold to Jimmy.

Wow!  I'm (almost) left speechless.   :o

Every time I visit Tom's layout your vehicle builds always catch my eye.  It doesn't matter how many times I've seen them before.  I still stop and eye each one up.   :D

I always thought they were real and that Tom had found a way to shrink them to HO.
