Third truck release announced by Trainworx - Fedex, Peterbilts

The Peterbilts for me.  I'd like to have one of each, but will have to settle for three or four.  What colors will be the hard part.

FYI — the Peterbilts were built from 1949 through 1957, and all of the paintschemes featured are prototypical.

First off, thank you Bryan for (a) posting a separate thread for this and (b) for putting a meaningful Subject line.

Secondly, Exciting Announcement!   Modeling 2000+/-, I'm probably out, or at most a FedEx Freight pup or two "for the ground".  OTS was almost zero back then for FedEx, as far as I know.   But I still love to see this kind of stuff coming out and I encourage everyone to support what Trainworx is doing when you can even if you're stretching your era a bit.  (this release aside, I have been buying Trainworx stuff left and right)

My Wallet is toast.... another big pre-order.

MB Klien was dumping BLMA spins a while ago, not any more....  (glad I speculated and grab some dirt cheap then  )

Bryan:  The era is fine, as 1957 trucks weren't too uncommon in the Northwest in 1974.  Maybe not running for the major companies, but a lot were with their second or third owners, and I can use them for farm trucks if nothing else.  It's nice to know the paint is prototypical, but in my case, how many were in original paint is debatable.

Wallet safe, nothing for early 70s yet. Must wait for the Kenworth K100 and W900 (I guess).

               Where is DHL when you need em! Nate Goodman (Nato).

Well, this canceled my FedEx truck project. I was hoping to buy some trucks and trailers and make custom FedEx decals for them.  But now, they would no longer be unique or needed.

I suppose I could try my hand on DHL.  I didn't know DHL has such a strong U.S. presence anymore.
