If we did it...?

So, we, at Showcase Miniatures, are reaching out to you guys here at The Railwire for input on our next truck model.

We are planning to start a new series of medium duty trucks - 3/4 to 1 ton - and would appreciate some input on which era to begin with (first ;)).  50's, 60's, 70's, 80's...newer?  I'll be posting this a few other places for input as well.

Reply to this post or send me an email - walter@showcaseminiatures.net - and we'll decide where to focus our attention.

My preference would be 90's.

80's would be ok.

Mid to late-ish 60s

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Model year 1956 and earlier would be perfect for me.

Cheerio!

+1 Me too.  Nothing after 1956, unless I break down and hide 1 anachronistic 57 Chevy or T-Bird someplace.
