and of course the first thing I notice is, the livestock isn't fenced in.



loved the chain gang.

the truck beside the logs looked pretty tiny. how did it haul the logs? was there a BIGGER truck?

very inspiring, though. I think my lay-out will be a mish-mash of all sorts of styles, eras, and disaster scenes. mostly disaster scenes, caused by train-wrecks, things falling down, and just general new to the hobby-ness.

but, my livestock will be FENCED. snork.

I really like the Bimbo bakeries truck. See these all the time.

Great shots and a nice variety of scenes. Thanks Josh! I laughed at the chain gang scene because my 3 month old grandson sent me that set for Christmas, with a little help I'm sure.

@Trucklover

You guys on the other side of the pond get better model trucks than we do. Wouldn't be any Kenworth 407's hanging around by any chance? I am the photographer for the Australian Supertruck Racing (not the 'pickups' you guys race) the big 6ton monsters.

I have to agree with you Ron. This looks like a nice show to attend. Thanks Trucklover!

Thanks for the photos, Josh. I can see that modeling trucks gets just as involved as modeling trains. I really like the shots of the paper company. Very nicely detailed.

Thanks guys

That Paper company is extremely detailed! He also has an Orange Packing Plant right next to it, and if I remember correctly from a couple years ago, he made close models to the real ones here in Fullerton CA.

I also took 2 videos of 2 different Military Trains loaded down with tanks, hummers.... They were both very long ones in N scale. I cant seem to get the videos to play right now, so I have to sit down and figure out whats wrong with them. As soon as I can get them to work, Ill post links to them
