What I need now, since everything else I have is HO-approximate, is some suitable towing vehicles that are big enough to pull the guns without looking too out of scale with everything else; whatever I use is going to need to have some heavy tow hooks added, since the hole on the long toms is really big and pretty high off the ground.shotgun6https://www.blogger.com/profile/01282827842741231909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748313041626107348.post-1852255453625279562016-12-30T14:09:12.102-06:002016-12-30T14:09:12.102-06:00Shotgun6, glad to hear it.

I cast up new wheels to replace missing originals on most of mine. Still, compare them to a new model and the price is in the ballpark. Remember, these are also at least 40 years old, so just getting them at all seems a miracle to me.<br />BunkermeisterMike Bunkermeister Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875990546662630863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748313041626107348.post-42682864705812520492016-12-29T16:53:27.733-06:002016-12-29T16:53:27.733-06:00You inspired me to buy a couple of these on ebay; ...You inspired me to buy a couple of these on ebay; I got 2, for $9.98 each, which seems like a lot, but that was the going rate - they're bigger than I thought they would be, and you're right, the original wheels do look goofy, but overall, they're a pretty nice piece.shotgun6https://www.blogger.com/profile/08458664970250369510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748313041626107348.post-3164362595084100592016-12-28T13:32:26.265-06:002016-12-28T13:32:26.265-06:00Thanks Don.
