Here's another great shot from Shorpy. Yes, it's a main-line railroad, 1904, but it's from an 8x10 neg and it has some wonderful weathering texture references, particularly on the frame and running gear, well worth a look. The hi-res image is available from Shorpy.

And here's another for all the truck enthusiasts, again from Shorpy, the Crack Groceries delivery truck from 1920. Seems to me you'd have some difficulty today promoting a store by the name of Crack Groceries... people might get the wrong idea...  ;D Is it my imagination or does the driver bear something of a resemblance to a certain member of this forum... ::)

Neat pics Paul. The Crack truck would be right at home here in parts of LA  ;) ;D.

My photo for today has an "educational bent". ;D

I'm inclined to agree with you Russ, though I am tempted to dig out my rollerblades... ;)

Today something for Ken Hamilton.  ;)

Anyone got any ideas on how the wheels were powered?

Marc,

I can't speak for other but for myself could you please stop this exquisite form of torture.

The tractor was bad enough.... really do like it, just need to justify the build! , but as you may remember a lot of my modelling life was centred on boats & yachts in particular so the last photo is almost completely mandatory to do something with !!

Thanks
Gordon

  Marc,

 
QuoteAnyone got any ideas on how the wheels were powered?

  planetary gearboxes.... small output from differential and large gear on wheelhubs ( the large covered parts in the wheels)

Dang Marc, you post the coolest pics! I especially like that odd 4x4 tractor.

Visit my website to see pics of the rugged and rocky In-ko-pah Railroad!
