Nice kit, and Ebay find, oldtimer52!
Here's my AOTW offering:
A Tyco Union Pacific semi, with red Kenworth cab! (actually, this is the second of its type that I possess, with the other being part of my first tractor-trailer on-a-flatcar.)
I obtained a great deal on this Tyco Kenworth cabover UP semi, on Ebay, last week. Actually, I had seen this listing months ago, but was driven away by this picture (which, when not carefully analyzed, appears as if the fender is bent or broken off....) I believe this also may have steered-away interest in a greatly-priced Tyco truck.
Image credit to Ebay seller
I happened to stumble across the listing once again last week, and noticed that the fender was not bent, but rather slightly out-of-sync with the truck cab. After briefly considering, I sent the seller an offer of $4.00, and they immediately accepted! So, I was ultimately able to obtain this Tyco semi, with shipping included, for $7.00. When it arrived today, I noticed that the cab was a bit loose, but the seller must have already fixed/jostled the fender/front grille plastic piece, because the cab was perfect.
This evening, I placed it on the layout, driving down the street behind the red Camaro -- from Microbusss!

RP,
Your layout continues to amaze me. Nice use of cotton [I think] to represent smoke coming out of the chimney.

Gary B - thanks on the truck! The plastic motorboat trailer I ended up getting in the midst of a lot of accesories....which was part of a lot of HO-Scale buildings, from Ebay, last year. I have no idea who the manufacturer is.
Brian - Yep, I did use the whisps of a cotton ball to represent chimney smoke! Glad that you like the layout.

| Nice smoke idea, RP.. I used to do the cotton around the rear tires of dragster models I would build. My layout is summer so I cant do my chimneys...
