What happened to January and February?

It's been a little bit busy here these past few months. A good friend has been ill and I've been helping him with his business to keep things afloat. Things are looking up now and the crisis is past, all that remains is the healing, which seems to be going well.

Most of the hobby projects are scattered to the winds right now, mostly in boxes awaiting their eventual call to action. It seems that my interest has turned to truck models lately and those have been a fun break from boxcars and such. 

Whilst digging for some parts I came across a relic from my days as a transition era through 1965 SP modeler.  It's a PIE rig powered by an International R-190 tractor made by Classic Metal Works. The rig features a bunch of add on parts from makers like Alloy Forms and such, plus some paint and a decal or two. I'll post a few images to show some earlier work. I really like trucks of all era's, they are a weakness of mine to be sure. Pretty sure I need a display case just for them now.

A little thing like a license plate helps out more than one might think.

A Mini Metals 32' trailer and International tractor.

A little nostalgia never hurt anybody that I know of, and seeing this rig reminded me of some good times now in the rear view mirror.

I felt the need to check in here just to say we're still alive and well, and needed a subject to fill in for the lack of useful information these posts are famous for; it's all just fun and games really.

Thanks for reading this far, drop us a line if the mood strikes and let us know whats going on with you. 

Enjoy Your Trains,
