    Listings with this dealer tend to gloss over apparent problems with their cars, so I doubt we'll ever know the backstory. ?

    As far as the tires go, I wonder what 1:12 scale kits have some that are close to the right size.

    Many have survived and have been put on display at shows here in New England over the years. I don't know about elsewhere.

    Songwriter and producer Pete Waterman and his team just broke the Guiness record for longest portable model railway. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1wx31x1yljo

    From what I've read, Mr. Stewart took models with him to work on while on tour.

    Don't tow trucks seem to take forever to come when you want one? ?

    In Massachusetts there is the Franklin & South Manchester HO scale layout built by George Selios tha's been featured in several hobby magazines over the decades. One can visit during an Open House day.

    This was at the BSAAC show in at the Endicott Estate in Dedham, MA. They always have an interesting variety there.

    IIRC I saw this creation once, twenty years ago. I wonder what became of it.

    In Pennsylvania, there was the beloved Roadside America attraction, built to nominally 3/8" to the foot scale to go with the larger tinplate trains Lionel was selling at the time, but the trains were eventually replaced with Lionel 0 Gauge. On top of that scale difference, numerous 1:25 scale cars populated the streets. Unfortunately during the pandemic the attraction closed. On the other hand, another longtime attraction, Choo Choo Barn, also in PA, has changed hands, but reportedly it's supposed to continue operation. It too utilizes Lionel O Gauge trains.

    Fred Heim built a varied selection of model types. I first came upon his work at a truck show in the early 2000's where he had a half-sized Peterbilt with trailer. He went on to build a low-loader and construction machinery in that scale. What I didn't know for some time is he also built lovely model boats and ships as well. https://craftsmanshipmuseum.com/artisan/fred-heim/fred-heim-photos/

    Another tractor brand I'm not familiar with. I hope they'd consider a 1920s Fordson.
