My AOTW is a Model AA Ford bus from Jordan Highway Miniatures. It's one good way to get passengers to and from the depot in numbers and in comfort. Jordan can also take credit for the baggage cart. They're intricate kits to assemble without breaking anything or losing your sanity, but the results are little gems.
Carpe Manana!

My AOTW will be a few new MoW additions for the EV.
Here's a speeder cart built on a Bachman gandy dancer.
And here's the Swingmaster and a dozer ready for track repair service.

Great accessories this week, all. Love the Ford Model AA bus, shaggy, and love the EV MOW equipment.
My AOTW is this Mini Metals U.S. Mail truck, that I've had on the layout for years now.

If you knew the history of postage rates, that "Air Mail 5 cents" on the side of the truck could set the era of the layout. I think it's quite a while back. For all of my life USPS equipment has been blue. That's a neat old truck.

Same, I've never seen a green US Mail truck, and judging by the truck cab (which appears to be an old International truck cab) it is probably from the 40's. So, kinda old, but hey, the Ephrata Valley Railroad serves the one horse town of Ephrata, a fictional place that transcends time.

Chops, that halftrack mail truck looks like a toy I saw in a display case at the post office, once. Apparently, those things were once common enough to merit reproduction as a toy.
