How about a scale vehicle thread

[CSXect]

WOW a lot of collecting/modeling going on here, I now no longer feel like an odd ball for collecting toy cars of 40's and 50's cars also have a few modern semis as well.

Mine are 1:64 thru 1:32 will get some photos up soon:thumb:

Just a teaser I have a 1959 Cadillac, 3 Thunder birds, 58 Edsel and a bunch of dodge power wagons and the most unusual is a chrysler turbine convertible and many others as well

Junkyard Packard Motor progress

The V12 motor for the 34 Packard is about done. All it needs now is a distributer, starter, & some plugs & wires on one side. And of course to be cut off its "tree" . Oh, almost forgot, they had a big oil filler tube on the drivers side , thats a must.

Found the perfect wheels!!

I finally found just what I need to build rims to fit the O-ring tires.
Found 2 things actually , both have a perfect "lip' to be the edge of the rim.
one is a 10/24 or 10/32 thin metal"anchor nut" the other is part of the insulator on a 10-12 guage wire terminal. The anchor nut just needs to be cut to proper width, but the terminal must have the lip filed down a bit as it's a bit thick.
The centers are made from the aluminum of a disposable baking tin.
I think that for HO scale a 8/32 nut & a 16-14 ( blue) terminal would be about the right size.

Who says you can't get anything for a buck?
Picked this up at Wally-World for just that.

Yes, this one will get a driver also.

More Wally World rides...these are found with the 1:144 scale tanks and are near perfect N scale. Not bed for a buck 97...

I still have a couple of Micro-Machines amoured vehicles that I used for flat car loads when I was into N scale. They were painted in wild bright colored camo paint, but a can of Testors Model Master "Forest Green" took care of that. That was before the Army started painting everything Desert Sand

Here's a pic of the Micro Machines armoured vehicles that I used for flat car loads when I was doing Nscale.

This is a refriderator truck I kitbashed from an N scale tractor, and an N scale Refridgerated container

I guess there are alot more options out there for N scale than I thought there was.

I won a Caterpillar 920 wheel loader in 1/50 scale today off ebay since I collect a few others than HO. I figured I needed a beavertail trailer to haul it and my backhoes around. I dont have a truck, but the trailer is a start. Here are some pictures.
