(...) The picture from Amazon.com looks as if it has a dark grey chassis, but I'd bet that those would be the only 2 parts. Peeron & BL don't have inventories yet...:-( Josh (21 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

Other than the stand for the roadsign, does the set include any parts in the new colors? I would love to get one for the canopy, buckets and such and if the roadsign stand is the only part in the new colors, its even better (since I dont like the (...)

I've just finished my first town MOC in quite some time...this F-150 uses the 1 stud = 1 foot scale, which makes it a large 6-wide truck. Definitely suitable for an 8-wide train layout ;) (URL) One of the features of this truck is the third door, (...)
