You Wreck 'em - We Fetch 'em

Here is a new wrecker from Showcase Miniatures.  This one comes in two flavors - both used and really used.  The Loadstar makes a great base for this 1960s era tow truck.  Kit comes complete with cast wheels, all the equipment needed, custom decals and a clear formed windshield (that must be cut to fit).  The missing hood section for the distressed version can also be cut from from the windshield form part.

@wbvrail -
Is any of this clear formed windshield available for the half dozen I purchased previously without?   ;)

We can probably do something about that.  I have just recently worked out this detail.

Email me with what you want...

Thanks,

Always on the lookout for 60's era yellow tow trucks but at $18 I don't know if Dale's towing is going to happen or not.  :)



If you look closely in the lower left, you'll see the crossing of the CGW and RI mainlines in Waterloo, IA.

With these and the GMC cabs available, I think I need to put in a new order soon.

This is a really beautiful model!!!  Too bad its about 15 years too young for me but maybe sometime in the next century you will take a look at doing on appropriate for around 1945 or so...

I think it's a '51. May still be too new for you though.

That cab styling was introduced in 1948.  Very close, but it would be real stretch to work for 1945.   ;)

Oh, oh, really? I'm going to have to rethink these for my cca 1950 layout (Spring '51).  :D

That's just right!!!  Will have to do some research, though, on how it should be painted but it would definitely work!!!
