Great job, James!  I like the truck. The fenders really set it off.  I love
the DB 74 loco.  The rounded top is excellent!

Do you remember in which kit you got the yellow 4x4 radar dish?

I flip through a couple of Marklin model train catalogs to get some
inspiration.  This time I found focus on a trio of models for the
"Fritz-Homann Margarine" company.

They are all of an older style and have a yellow color scheme.

- first is a yellow tank car with a brown brakeman's cab (I think it is

- second is a yellow box car with cupola at one end
- third is a yellow delivery truck with a white storage box

For a look, go to:

and click on "What's NEW in My Small LEGO World".

or continue scrolling down to the Truck or Train Creations links.
