For this week, my AOTW is a streetcar poster I got when I went to San Francisco a few years ago.

Down-scaling some this week, my AOTW is an N scale disaster crossing , I have this in HO as well.  Will probably break out the HO version for my action modules eventually. These are hard to find, ran across it at the TImonium, MD show , and the price was right.

| Nice items. This one is a model of the 1958 Plymouth Belvedere.  Seems to have an issue with its engine.  Looks like it is fixed and ready to go.

At this moment, I'm about an hour's drive from Belvidere, IL, the home of a Chrysler assembly plant. I wonder if there's any connection between the name of the car and the name of the town.

| It seems this model car is popular and I have the website of the company. It is WWW.M2MACHINES.COM and they have many models for sale.  Had another sunny day to take additional photos.  Hope you enjoy.

| Nice photos Richard! These pics put me in the mind of having one of these old classics sprawled out in my garage and I'm working on it... Nothing like giving new life to a classic people laughed at just a few months ago....
