The coal truck features tarps that were made from tea bags. I lightly airbrushed them with white, beige, and black, and then formed them using dilute white glue. I'm thinking I'll need to make a terrain base for photographs, as the real terrain is vastly out of scale!
The green truck is just a chassis for the moment. I am going to build a sheep camp to put on it at some future point I think. I took some time to look at the prototype Mack paint jobs, and it seemed that all red and all orange schemes were common, as was a green on red scheme. In most cases the running gear was in color. Given that these are likely for the Lost Shore layout, I faded them a bit, as if they had been in the desert sun.
