Great pic JayBee. Hey isn't that driver who just jumped out to throw a hissy fit Dylan Mulvaney?

Desperately in need of a rebuild.  A timely example of Budweiser.

@jack-dodds ......I have a history with that model Jack......the one you see above carries enough nicotine to populate a string of inner-city bodegas.....the NEXT one I bought had/has a very challenging frame and axle issue......sometimes the scars are the most compelling features...No??

Hmmm....much like the recent company woes, this Budweiser launch also fell flat.

@john-barry LOL!  I would normally respond with a reply regarding what happens when you "break" your trans but in the pursuit of good taste I will elect to skirt the issue this time.

John the first couple of pics in the series are outstanding, truck with the leaves and train. And the "dust" on the truck in pic 3 is so realistic. Is that a modelling product you've used? thanks

Thank you for looking in Geoff.......all the dust and nature bits are gathered from my unkempt yard..........the brown stains,dust

and windswept pollen are "as received" on the old truck

thanks John, and for the link, somehow you've managed to harness 1/24 scale leaves and dust!

Great pictures JB. I agree the condition of the Budweiser truck is far better for the story than if it was pristine. Also, The Sam Cooke album brings back many fond memories.
