No direct Frisco content and I apologize for that. As you know I will be modeling a Diversion Channel construction scene where it crossed the Frisco right of way and I needed to create a variety of construction vehicles. This is my latest. An old Mack coal/ice truck modified with a wood platform to raise heavy equipment/supplies up to the taller steam dredge machinery. No prototype for this but don't tell anyone.
You are correct! It's all going to good use and I thank you for the bargain. The crane kit provided the parts for the steam dredger as well. Waste not, want not.
Just finished this Jordan Highway Miniatures 1925 Ford Mail Truck tonight. Very nice kit and I really like the screen in the back windows.
Yes. Got this one online. I'm working on another one of yours tonight. The 1925 Ford Roadster/Pickup.
Jim - Keep it up, and keep posting the results. In excellent modeler's hands like yours, these Jordan kits make great looking models. Ken
Here's a 1923 Ford Model TT one ton truck that I turned into a tow truck tonight. It's pulling a 1914 Model T Touring car.
These are great looking kits Jim I really like the US Mail truck and the Wrecker too, you really know how to bring these old things to life.
Tonight I finished the 1913 Ford fire truck. It will eventually be used on my Cape Girardeau riverfront (circa 1916) staging module.
Some of these little WW I era mail trucks were still in use up into the early 1950's. The Springfield Post Office had a collection of these as well as a Dodge Power Wagon that the Treasury Department confiscated from some bootleggers (that they slapped some olive drab paint on). Those vehicles wouldn't be out of place unloading mail from the RPO apartment of the Texas Special or Meteor's streamline mail car. Tom G. FYI: The reason the Post Office vehicles were painted olive drab (up until the Eisenhower administration), they got leftover paint from the army after WW I.
