Not really different from the show rods of the 1970s, or perhaps from today's Ridler award builds. 🙂 -
I watch that channel also. I recommend this channel as well.

This one was reportedly a former Esso station, moved to the property of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME. Pictures from 1991. I love the weathering.

You guys following the 31/ATLAS situation?

What non-auto model did you get today?
Brian Austin replied to chunkypeanutbutter's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I am not well versed in prewar American Flyer (prior to the brand's move to S Gauge) but this is probably from the mid to late 1930s. -

I could not resist this O Gauge 1930s cast aluminum Zephyr set, though it's a bit compressed in length. -
FORUM CHANGES THREAD
Brian Austin replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It seems we already had a different mix of subcategories some time ago. I think I preferred that manner of organization -
I wasn't even aware this car had belonged to Buster Keaton until I saw a video clip on Facebook from a Keaton film showing himself at the wheel of a Model T while another character pulls up next to him in a sporty car, what turned out to be his Mercer. The discussion in the comment section was fascinating.

At least one Mercer Raceabout was converted to a truck. The first two pages are photocopied from an old book on car restoration. The second article I recently found posted on Facebook. Interestingly, it is the very same car. These sources, randomly found decades apart, show the complete restoration back to original configuration of the car once owned by none other than Buster Keaton! Now I'd like to find more pictures of its truck form.

Seeing the cartridges being pointed out I wondered the cost and how quickly they run out.
