GMC CCKW 353 "LeRoi" Truck w/Compressor

Looks good Paul. Nice to see something whitemetal on here :thumb2: Well made whitemetal kits can be as good as anything else, and have a nice heft when finished.

I agree Tim, but I could not locate anymore metal LeRois of that quality (Trident).

Tried CMK & HR87. They had kits in the past, but no joy currently.

Some progress. Exhaust, side doors & handles to go on far right truck. Found some RR gladhands that I'll add to all air tanks minus hoses.

Thanks for following guys, you keep me focused. I still get distracted by small model RR projects.
 
It's great to see you back with the tank trucks and in white metal too Paul. Sorry I'm late in responding as I had to wait for the delivery of a stronger Optivisor lens to see them. I really was beginning to worry about you though......

It seems you are still missing your old layout and starting a 'new' one. The worrying part is that your alter ego, Choo Choo PaulE would take over your minitnkr ego and stop all work on your dios. I realize you love both........

So when the urge strikes you to do a small RR project, go outside and wash the Camaro. If you have the urge often, then at least you'll have the cleanest Camaro in downtown Ohio, Buddy!!!...

Prost

Two on the left are early LeRoi compressors, two on the right are the later version (D71) w/dbl capy. Working door handle solutions.
 
At some point you run out of easy ones to build, leaving the tough ones as all that’s left :)
