That's part of the plan, as many as fit w/military police & maintenance/recovery elements present if space permits. C&Cs encouraged as always. Suggestions welcomed.
 
Sounds like fun to me.......I'm parked in the back to keep JR company. Will there be refreshments?

"at its peak the red ball express operated 5,958 vehicles that carried about 12,500 tons of supplies a day"

Looking forward to seeing your tribute to one of the highlights of WWII.
 
Hi Paul
The Red Ball Express - iconic. A perfect subject to model for one of your braille scale dios.

Thanks for all your support. Blueberry dump cake & Organic Peruvian coffee.
 
Paul, love the idea..... At least I did once I'd looked it up. Obviously knew about the massive supply requirements but had never heard it called this.

Great idea Paul, just watched this morning a video about the Red Bull Express. Having read the book you recommended some time ago the video had more meaning.

Steve, bake stuff in a bunt pan, then dump it out on a plate let it cool a bit then slice to taste. Yummy.
Dzohn, book wasn't great, but the only one I'd come across that discussed it in any depth. Was that the 50s movie or a U-tube?
Working Maint. & Recovery elements.

Candidates for dio. Wish someone did decent plastic COEs for less than $30.

That makes two of us Paul, Bad enough you only have resin COE's to choose from but they want astronomical prices for so-so quality kits. Rick H.

Working loads. Each barrel in the lower right trailer is a model unto itself.
