Out of everything I found at yesterday's train show, this is the favorite 
You can see that the guys at the concrete plant are amazed too. I have no idea who made this thing - it was loose in a box of odds and ends. I gave the guy a dollar for it, I think he would have gone less

JNXT, that looks like a nice old flat-fendered 40's Jeep. Nice score!
My AOTW is another teaser for Microbusss, picked this up at my Train shop for $13. He was looking for Model Power trucks but they may be discontinued? At least I snagged this one. It'll stay parked here in Virginia until Micro can exchange some of his trash for treasure at the recyclers. .
