GMC CCKW 353 "LeRoi" Truck w/Compressor

[Tim Marlow]

Looks good Paul. Nice to see something whitemetal on here 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.

Coming on nicely Paul.

love the way you make them all individual, Paul

Thanks for following guys, you keep me focused. I still get distracted by small model RR projects.

Looking very good!

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......

I still get distracted by small model RR projects.

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

Already do Allen. Getting closer w/LeRois.

Excellent sratchery mate.

Some progress yesterday evening.

 

[minitnkr]

Two on the left are early LeRoi compressors, two on the right are the later version (D71) w/dbl capy. Working door handle solutions.

Paul,
Nicely done.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys, these are tough ones.

 

[Jakko]

At some point you run out of easy ones to build, leaving the tough ones as all that’s left

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks guys, these are tough ones.

Well they are looking very good even if they are. Life would be a bit boring if everything just fell into place…..
