New Mexico Police Truck

I’ve been looking for a New Mexico police vehicle. But nothing was available. So I made one.

The key was finding the decals. Finally found some (eBay), then I got a roof light and a black 1950 pickup truck.

Very nice!

Looks great. Does the light flash?

No that would be too fancy (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

It could be lit if I ever wanted to in the future.

I am sure Dave Bodner could whip up a circuit that would flash the light, make the siren sound, an engine revving sound, and even turn on the headlights and marker lights.

What kind of mill does it have under the hood?

Cool almost looks like it could use a blood hound in the passengers seat.

Not blaz’n fast, but for the rough roads on the layout it should be just fine (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
