Nice...that's one of the US-1 trucks I don't have. I have a Gravel truck, and one other, plus some cabs. Neat.

Wait until you see it unload when you back into the dock, or you reverse into the loader and the cars go on without your intervention!
The real beauty of US-1 is the way that everything works so well without a 'helping hand': watch the bulldozer push the logs into the tipper, the crane load the pipes - one at a time, or a truck reverse into one of the docks to collect barrells, gravel, or crates, brilliant!
Then you go and deposit them somewhere else, still hands free!
For gravel, if you are short of the real plastic pellets (as these are usually missing) use these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mung_bean
Most supermarkets here in the UK have them, but I guess health food stores do too, although I tend to avoid them!
The thing that I find always brings a smile to peoples faces is the Airport. The plane taking off and the flying in a circular motion is totally unexpected to the casual observer!

What we did before the computer game revolution. This Tyco USA1 is definitely new
territory for me.

Busss, you have some amazing pieces- I recall that parking
garage awhile ago, for one. Is your camera out of commission?
I always looked forward to your posts, and miss them!
