The truck is a Dodge power wagon by Busch. The dozer is a First Gear model.Alan - Awesome load - Is that a Dodge Power Wagon?
Who makes the truck and dozer?
I know the flat car is depressed but staying busy and doing work helps its disposition.
Who makes that flat car?After it moved to Switzerland, I missed the model of the drawbridge pulley on a flatcar I made so I found the mold and made another one. This one is orange though instead of light blue. Here it is shown on Charlie Comstock's Bear Creek and South Jackson Railroad,

I know the flat car is depressed but staying busy and doing work helps its disposition. Here's a funny story, some of you may know since I don't have any art background, I got my current job building miniatures for movies based on my model railroading experience. I recently finished a model of a machine for an upcoming movie and front and center is another of these castings. So my model railroading shows up in my work again.
That was made by Walthers, I wish they would do them again.Who makes that flat car?
I had one as well, but sold it. I do wonder sometimes what my brain is doing.That was made by Walthers, I wish they would do them again.
Thank you for letting me know. I really like these flat cars I may need to see if I can get at least 2 of these. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of the original box? Looking for the model number etc... Again thanks!That was made by Walthers, I wish they would do them again.

I wish they would just bring them back into production. I've seen videos with wrecked engines on the 4 truck flat cars and once on the depress flat car with cribbing under the tank minus the engine trucks. They're nice and heavy being diecast metal and run/track nicely.I will be going to the big E show in Massachusetts put on by Amherst Railway Society in January 25th & 26th, 2020
Making my list for that weekend to gather mo stuff lol
