Hello,
One of my goals for 2007 was to revisit my vehicles and make them a lot more
substantial than they were. I did my garbage trucks a while ago and now with
the release of the cement mixer in June, I really wanted to look at creating an
engine forward (?) style cab for it.
This is what I have come up with:
Dump truck:

Container roll-off truck:

Included in the folders are then and now shots as well showing where my vehicles
were prior to beefing them up.
I think I am on the right track with these and want to thank the many great
vehicle builders whose creations I have been studying for a couple of months.
Also, I have added a folder of a street with the trucks to my layout folders. I
placed the elevated subway and freight trains along it and got the overall feel
I was going for: A busy, industrial area. I am really happy with the feel I
have gotten with this section of my layout.

Thanks for reading and looking!
Best,
Jonathan
