Can't say I share your enthusiasm for chicken haulers but the COE Pete with drom and wooden structure are super. Look forward to seeing this all come together.

Nice work Thomas!
Did you scratchbuild those engines? They look terrific.
I can't believe I haven't found this thread before.

Hello Joe The Engines are scratchbuild. The green part at the V12 engines are from Preiser, but the rest is scratch. Because I will need the Cummins Engine for some more projekts a friend of mine made a casting of it, so I only need to ask him if I need a Cummins KTA 19 600. Next scratchbuild engine will be a Cat 3414 DITTA , but I still need drawings an good pictures of it.

amazing craftsmanship. It is hard to think of those engines being so small until you see the pencil and other tools in the background of the photo.

Very nice work. The pickup in particular seems like a very promising project, I like to see the use of Evergreen.

Sweet! While I am not a fan of lowriders in real life, they are amazingly fun to build in H0. If you want more room for the rims inside of the fenders, use a scalpel to scrape out the insides of them. That way you can allow yourself a wider track than otherwise.
You still need some speaker boxes in the bed of the pickup truck, then it will be perfect.

Dear All:
These lowriders are similar to the ones which are made by Jada Toys. Not my favorite theme, but if someone did these on a regular basis, ready to run.I will grab them.
The pick up and van look great.

A new foto of my extended pete. Now it got a sleeper which also have been cleaned. I also added closed fenders for the rear wheels. The cab and the fenders are not glued to the chassis yet.

Fotki don't like direct links in the free account so I had to change to photobucket. The Pete COE has been painted. It still needs some details. The extended Pete will get the same colors.

I worked again on the engine for the '32 Ford Coupe. Now it is ready to be painted.

Sweet! I think that a dark field on the bottom of the trailer would look really good. What is the house for? It looks somehow like an official building of some sort.

First it was planed as gasstation/motel, but after I had an accidend with the first version of the Building I decided to reduce it to a gasstation with restaurant. It is my first scrtch build house. I put the gravel on to the roof, it is not glued to it yet. Maybe I even wont glue it, because it give me the possiblity to show various stages of building the house.
