Recently on a major social media site someone mentioned he did not believe my collection was as large as I had indicated on a post in a group. 25+ truck per row, so over 100 trucks. They are all assembled, most need painting nearly all are primed in white or gray. The white is pretty thin so many of them look yellow. Click on the photos to enlarge them and see the details.
This is my HO scale WWII US Army 2 1/2 ton truck collection. Well, most of it. Note the cement truck, the two boom tow truck. In the back on the right side is part of my laundry unit with wash hanging up. The open bed trucks have removable pallets in the back so their cargo can be unloaded.
Mostly Paul Heiser and a few conversions and a few Roco. Note the radar vans. Trucks include the short bed artillery truck. Some have cargoes like anchors, propellers, engineer gear.
Paul makes excellent trucks. I usually paint the windows black, not done with this one, obviously.
Rear view. In this photo you can see in the bottom center my armorers truck with a table of weapons laid to out be repaired and a fuel can for cleaning parts.
Bunker Talk blog with 30,000 photos of my toy soldier collection of Roco Minitanks, Heiser Models, Fidelis Models, Airfix and Pegasus figures; and 54mm & 60mm plastic soldiers from Tim Mee, Elastowit, BMC, MPC.

MPC Germans
MPC 60mm officer figure. I love the great detail on the chest.
Throwing a grenade.
Rear views, lots of gear on the guy on the left.
I often place these two together, they seem to go together, "Heer Colonel, the General is on the phone."
Rear view good details.
Urging the troops forward.

MPC 60mm Germans
In the 1960s MPC made WWII era German troops. You can tell them by their MPC style. MPC figures often had a lot of wrinkles in the clothing, sharp detail on the buttons and pockets. And they had the sort of zig zag stands too.
Most of them also included a hole in the base. MPC vehicles and ships often had a peg on them so the troops could stand up on deck while the vehicle was driven around.
This guy seems to have an MP38 but without the magazine he is not too threatening.
I like that this guy has a field phone. The cord is pretty cool too. He looks to me like he is handing the phone to the MPC officer figure.
Breaking in your door? Hitting you with the rifle butt? Use the pointy end Fritz.

Pulling Out
Loading up.
One last stretcher.
Cover the loading.
Radio says artillery fire on it's way.
Time to pull out.
Start the engines.
We are done here.
You will be okay.
