Daryl,
Thanks, The windmill is a Walthers kit made of styrene.

Great job Andy, everything fits together nicely. Is there a story behind the name Co-Op on the truck?

[crazytrain]

Andy, The truck looks right at home on the layout. Really brings life to the whole scene. Great job!

[MikeC]

Yep - a home at last! Perfect! First class landscaping too.

Thanks Guy's,
Jim the co-op on the truck means that the truck is owned by the local co-op. In this instance it is the Camp Douglas Farmers Co-op. This co-op was founded in 1919, and I have worked there since 1985. One thing to remember on this layout is it's prototype so everything on it so far is or was there at one time. Thanks again!!

It all came down to this. Wow, the little bugger (Co-op Truck) looks right at home track side.

Are these the windmills?
Walthers Model Railroad Mall -- product information page for 933-3198

They were in the Bargain Depot for less money... Oh well, I'm not looking into them. I'm modeling in the Appalachian Mountains!

Yes sir Josh, those are the right windmills.

I knew there was something behind the name. That's good stuff especially since you work there.
