Just arrived from his Fogship's Manor: vintage Marx militaria.
As well as an assortment of Roman charioteers and cavalry. Even in miniature, these
splendid little figures convey the fearsome energy of these ancient warriors. Great Britain
was a Roman province AD 43 to AD 410, and had many of the features one assoicates
with classical Rome. The Romans left a trove of artifacts ranging from gold treasure to
astonishing machinery to breathtaking mosaics. These little fellows will be used for future
videos of Roman warriors caught in a time warp and transposed into modern Britain as well
as Romano-British re-enactment fairs. I think Nessie will have great fun eating a few, as well.
The humor might not be quite so vivid as but to my British counterparts.
The history of Britain is a mind boggling tableau that reaches into deepest time.

I recognized that ambulance right away. I thought i might see Hawkeye or Radar from M*A*S*H next to it. Glad all those time machine pieces are useful to you.
Here's my AOTW. A 96 x 48" display shelf my brothers and I built in the 70s or 80s to house our growing collections. I made sure that this made it to my basement as we cleaned out the ancestral home a few years ago.
I just installed it and immediately filled it up with my passenger equipment...
However I am missing two MDC Pullman Palace Cars and two Overlands... Now where did I set those???
SO that's partially what may happen when you have 45 years in the hobby...

Those plastic vehicles and Romans are cool, Chops.
Whoa - nice train shelf!
Recent additions to the Ephrata Valley MOW team, a few of these were re-done by Aaron to better match the rest of the fleet. I anticipate adding the trucks to the layout soon.

Aaron does amazing work with a remarkably fine hand. I never get
tired of admiring my Anderson Paint Shop Collection. You got not
one, but TWO high railers! Do they both work? Those are two versions
I've never seen before.

Agreed!
No, the hi-rail gear is purely display. The Chevy Suburban is a 3D printed model from (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/madaboutcars) while the dump truck is a Matchbox truck.
