I thought I would stroll around the track and look at the scenery pieces I have to work with.

Rich,

Great town you built dude! I was cracking up as the Semi was on yer hiney and then the cops...hahahahaahahaha

I run slot car Semi trucks and trailers all the time on our layout. That is a nice camo combo there. :thumbsup:

Jerry (win43) is gonna get a thrill seeing this GTO skit. I think he can imagine himself in the passenger seat pretty easily. lol

:D <---Rich...Jerry--->:eek:

I have some of those building frontages and the cars, trucks and accessories they come with make them great finds. Dollar General mostly but, at Christmas time there were some Military vehicles made by these, guys at the Mall, that I luckily picked up at the mall for future projects. All in plastic!!

Bob...Growing up is over rated...zilla

Great pix. You should have had the top down on such a nice day. ;)

Yes Jerry, that movie was more the inspiration for this thread than the track.

Here's a peek.

Yo!

I wanted one of their Taco Bells for a year now!!! Just can't swing the price..:cry:

Roger on your last, SCMan! The Good news is these buildings are styrene versus cardboard or foam board stock. The Bad news is that styrene goodness will run yah.

:( No bueno Taco Bell. :cry:

And the Ugly you may ask? I look at it in the mirror every day. Come on, I'm a Hutt! :tongue:

Hey Bob, you better grab them while you can.
They have been discontinued! (the Discontinued Bandit strikes again! :jest: )
I bought a few more and am gonna paint em up as retro store fronts.
They work out good on this track because they're up against the wall.

I also picked this up off eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=230337092045
for the infield. Not sure how it's gonna work, but I could use the figures.

Rich :rolleyes:

Hey Bill,
I got that cabin at a garage sale. Making these was a hobby of someone's dad.
It's Sparky's house.

Heck of a deal if all you can use right now are the figures, those will be too cool when they are fixed up.

Rich,

I love the Wall...Pink Floyd

In The Flesh (Waters) 1:36

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

Discontinued,discontinued, discontinued...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...oh wait I have a ton of them. Just gotta sneek them one by one away from our kids...naw I aint that mean. I still have some NOS Mint in the package...hahahahhahahaa Someday they may be worth 3 bucks each. :jest:

Bob...Laugh it up now Bandit...keep laughing...zilla
