    That's true about the Freightliners. I worked for Freightliner before getting into law enforcement. They have such roomy sleepers!!!

    1/87th Vehicles

    Cabovers are a dying breed everywhere I'm thinking, just don't see them as much in the USA. More widely accepted over the big pond in the UK I think.

    1/87th Vehicles

    Actually I was about to ask if anyone knew what they have seen as an over abundance of a certain type car, truck or van in the Mailbu series in their local Walmarts. I've been planning on adding a dealership to my layout but I've not been able to find a certain type car company, i.e. Chrysler...

    1/87th Vehicles

    The only problem I have with those is that certainly don't look 1:87th scale. I picked up the box and looked on it for a scale and there was none marked. Scott

    Scratchbuilt Prison

    It's pretty easy to convert a Rail-Box car. I'm hoping I can convert a few passenger cars so I make this transport train. I was hoping to find some more info and photos on it though before I started making my attempt at it. Scott

    Scratchbuilt Prison

    I don't know if it had any connection with what you stated about the name. I was just comparing rail to air prision tranports since I've seen first hand about Con-Air flights. Someone put a bug in my ear about this and now I've become obsessed with finding out more now to incorporate it onto...

    Scratchbuilt Prison

    That's a shame that stopped using them. It would have been interesting if they would have used the name "Con-Rail" like "Con-Air"..lol I'll have to get on my groups and see if anyone has any information on these cars. Scott

    Scratchbuilt Prison

    I just started using XtrCAD to design a prison I want to include on my layout. I hope to have it all designed and I'll attach a copy of the design here in this thread for you guys to see. I was going to put a hospital for the mentally ill or the prison so I opted for the prison since I'm a...

    I am in a few model railroad and 1/87 scale military modeling groups on Yahoo and I posed something similiar on the groups and we had a lot of fun with the topic since everyone wants to put something unique on their layouts. I myself have been using XtrCAD to design a Penetentiary for my...

    New 1:87 NASCAR at Walmart

    I have been keeping up with all the NASCAR cars the past 3 years as they come out but have no plans to put a track on my layout. Although my layout is going to be a pretty big, trying to scale a race track on the layout would be tough. Not sure I'd wanna give up that much space. I picked up...
