Title: 1:20:3 Ford Truck Conversions
Post by: Richard Schmitt on June 05, 2010, 05:02:31 PM
Hi Gang,

Thanks Unc Russ for the invite. It's a great forum with a lot of great modelers. Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Schmitt and I am one of the founding members of the Sundance Central Modular Railroad. Our layout which is 1:20.3 scale narrow gauge has been shown at several National Narrow Gauge Conventions. At the 2008 Portland, OR convention it received first place for modular layout category and it also received best of show (first time for a modular layout at a NNGC). We are presently adding to the layout which will be at the 30th NNGC in St. Louis this September.

My good friend and train buddy Gary Nichols ask if I would post some photos of a Solido model I kitbashed several years ago for the layout. It started life as a 1936 Ford pickup truck that was kitbased into a Model 52 Stake bed truck. I also kitbashed a Grabriel 1:20, 1912 Model T Depot Hack into a Model TT Stake Bed truck.
Since I'm not familar with the limit size for posting photos I'll post the photos in the next reply.

Richard
