New Truck

A new addition to the W&Q Ry. Not sure if it will stay with that billboard...but for now it will do. It sure looks good size wise for my O scale module.
While staying in Key Largo back in November we stopped by a local weekend flea market held along the main highway...in all places storage units. It appears they are set up as shops for the weekend crowds. One had some model railway items which with the heat are all baked and warped...just like if you stored your models in your oven. What I found interesting one of the vendors had a few Winn-Dixie heritage vehicles. Some as piggy banks and other as collector series. The collector series appeared to look like a close match to O scale, so I picked one up for $4.00. I probably will change the billboard to a something from up north...don't think Winn-Dixie made it up to New England other than on my W&Q Ry. layout...George Dutka

As it looked on a flea market table. Plastic cover missing.

Out of the box.


A bit of the history on the back of the box.

    Hi George;

    It's a 1/64 scale Hartoy with a 1939 Peterbilt cab, for what that's worth. A bit small for O, but maybe as a smaller truck...
