Electrical Truck

I have been building my city services a lot recently.

This electrical service truck is one example.

This is the only one of these I have ever seen, it's Matchbox and should not be that rare.

It's a nice big truck and will help keep the lights on in my miniature city.

So I have been getting police, fire, ambulance, life guard, security, trash and now electrical service vehicles for the last couple years.

Still nothing for the gas company, but I do have a few phone company vehicles.

This is a great truck model and would do well with a few extra paint touch ups.
 

Dumpster Diving

It may not seem like much but trash collection is a big deal.

Having a place for all the trash to go keeps a city clean and cuts down on fires and disease.

So having trash dumpsters and trash trucks is essential.

This Dollar Tree set is very common has been out for a long time and is still in stores.

I have been picking up one here and one there for a while now.  At the price the dumpsters alone are worth that much.
 

Racing Van

Hot Wheels racing van.

This is a support vehicle for a racing team.

Race cars require a large number of people to support them.

They have to move from hotels to the track and even around the track area.

Vans like this are used to do that.

I have several versions of this van in different paint jobs and some that I have repainted.

This one will stay like this to support one of my racing car teams.

Others will be repainted for use by various organizations.

It's a nice model, well painted and has nice wheels.

Police Taxi

 A new Matchbox car.

It started life as a police car.

The push bumper attests to that.

But now it is a taxi.

I plan on removing the tampos.  Tampos are the painted on markings.

And add decals.

To make it into a private security car.

I think it will be a fun conversion.

I used to work for a security company that used yellow cars, but more of a bright yellow / green.

This will do.
