Bimbo keeps coming out with these promotion pieces. Taken at El Paso Model Train Club
43rd Open House, not certain who contributed this truck with the wrap around windshield.
Sorry Micro, no lo tiendo.

Actually the van on the LEFT is the late 60s Econoline as the 70 van had the extended nose with the hood...

MY AOTW is a bag of 50 HO scale "sitting" people... They do need more paint detail as they are painted one color...

Neat Bimbo truck, Chops! That Conrail rail maintenance truck is awesome, Microbusss, as well as that lot of "sitting people," walt!
Here's my AOTW offering:
A Tyco Snap-Together signal bridge kit that I just received in the mail today. I already employed it to replace the rather shabby-looking black signal bridge already on my layout, and in the feature, I can add people standing on the top of the new signal bridge/climbing the stairs, catching a glimpse of the trains.

| That bridge looks great, RP. You should trade with walt for his bag of 50 people - they'd look good sitting on the bridge and stairs!

| I think the Tyco signal bridge is a nice piece. I have one but not sure where or if I can use it on my layout! ...

Thanks Brian and Walt! I could trade for people.....or keep watching on Ebay for a lot of people, and then trade some away myself.
Walt, I definitely recommend using this signal bridge on your layout -- it certainly is awesome! I'm still working on properly positioning it on my layout. Lol

Per Chops to RP about his loco: quote:| Did you use Goody's Hair Bands for the traction tires? |
Assuming this is the right category, here is my AOTW - I couldn't find "Goody's" bands at the dollar store, but I did find a bag of 500 flat hair bands. I put two of them on Gilbert HO 4-6-4 loco and they are holding up so far. Thanks for the tip.
