Very cool. When these phone company trucks first came out I thought I might start collecting them but decided I didn't have room for a new category. I still regret that decision but I guess it's for the best.

@bob-jackman  thanks Bob....they ARE a bit undersized, but the detail work is excellent.....ideal candidates for dry brush aging...added a couple pics to the set after Bell finished up

I don't know what your standards are, Bob, but I saw the set at a show aeons ago and they are not spectacularly well done. I picked this one up for it's novelty and the rest just didn't excite me. And John is right. These are made for weathering. It makes all the 'wood' look more realistic.

Like many of you here, I'm not only old enough to remember the Bell Tell trucks but telephone booths as well!

Cool stuff gentlemen!!

shots really work John, well done as usual!

Thank you Geoff.....the second train car came in today......so I ordered a few proper tracks and a secure payroll safe for the mail car.....as long as I don`t get "The Hat",it`s probably not too late to avoid becoming one of THEM

Rich, my interest in these trucks was for the novelty not the precision.
