Storage on the Snowshoe & San Juan

I’m starting to bring some of the buildings and all of the rolling stock indoors for storage as the summer monsoons arrive in the San Juan mountains.

As I was bringing in equipment for storage I thought this filled up shelf looked pretty cool.

Matt , well stacked (as they say) .

Is the Big Rig a First Gear model ? I am interested because I have quite a few , and have never seen that particular marking .

Nice crane down below it , too .

Well stacked…Ha

Nope not one of those really nice First Gear models.

The big rig is a USA Trains trailer (1773) and the tractor is a 1/24 diecast 1953 Chevy flatbed that I painted and added a styrene 5th wheel. I think I used a mix of Badger Rio Grande Gold and Rio Grande Orange to match the trailer color.

Well , Matt , you made a nice job of it . I want one .
