Thanks guys.
Arlan's railroad is not documented in any blogs or publications so far as I know. So my photos posted here and sometimes on the 1/87 Vehicle and Equipment photo galleries are all there is. In the dioramas thread on this message board I have posted my addition photos

I have fond memories of the Hamm's Bear from watching televised Minnesota Twins baseball while growing up. I was fortunate to find this truck recently and have extensively modified it. The Ford cab seemed perched on the frame CMW used for their International R90 truck. Cab and box both were lowered several scale inches. The oversize bumper was filed to leave only the middle. The under cab fuel tanks were removed and replaced with frame mount tanks and steps from a Life Like Ford dump truck. Photo etch detail parts were added, and a curb side door was added. The goblet decal was taken from a photo of a truck in the Ken Goudy collection and printed on white decal paper. My truck had to have the Hamm's Bear, and I made a decal from an image found using Google Images.

Thank you Samuel. Hopefully you noted that my beer truck model was lowered. I look forward to seeing your next creation.

Yes, that is one of my favorite sites! The photo with the rail car recreates a photo found on Google Images and traced back to an eBay seller of old photos. I bought a B&W print.

Here is another modification of a CMW model. The roof of this International R190 has been filed to thin the A pillars and better shape the windshield opening.
