Wood kits Rule!
Thanks, I wish there were more detailing items though like door hinges and knobs, etc. The kits come with great white metal details like barrels and junk, I just have not added them yet.
The truck is by Classic Metal Works, and these little vehicles really set off a scene, plus the Woodland Scenics fugures are great. This is the checker players set, and comes with the hound dog sleeping which is great.
As I was putting together my layout, I felt something was always missing, (besides a thousand dollars to buy new kits and engines. lol), then it dawned on me that there was no life on my layout, once I started adding figures and vehicles it really came to life. I think George Selios on his Franklin and Manchester said something about that. Also when setting up you scenes, have your vehicles and figures in mid action...in other words have vehicles turning corners or driving, not always parked, and have figures in action scenes, not just satnding. Good stuff.
