Can anyone tell me when these tractors were built? Walthers Model Railroad Mall -- product information page for 223-1097 . Could I use them for ca. 1980 - 1985? I don’t know anything about American trucks, so I am totally lost

Do I sense an ERA CHANGE!? OH NO! :shock:
-Does that mean you'll sell your 1950's era equipment!
-Put me first on the list if you ever want to sell your TRIX ATSF 2-8-2!
Promise?
Did that MP15 spark something?

Miles, yeah, the MP15 sparked something. But I won’t change the era of my layout permanently and I won’t sell any 1950’s era equipment. You know, I’ve got only a small switching layout and to make things a bit more interesting and to allow me to take some more pictures, I want to change eras from time to time. I think I’ll only have to change some details (cars, trucks, billboards etc.) so it will be easy to switch from the late 50s to the early 80s and back again. I might even replace one or two buildings. That gives me the chance to scratch build some more structures …
You know, that's an excellent Idea, Kurt!
That will give you an inherent flexibility that will really benefit your modeling! (Remember, there wasn't any graffitti until the early 1990's!
This will be very interesting to se eyou do, and I look forward to your progress in that degree.
I personally wish I could do that with my layout, but that'd mean all my orange groves and packing houses would disappear, and be replaced by hundreds of Tract homes..not the kind of scenery I envisioned for my Citrus Empire Route!
