For folks modeling the mid-1920s, it's hard to find suitable vehicles in S scale. Just a few Matchbox cars that aren't too toy-like. Some white metal kits from Railmaster and one or two others vendors.

This evening my friend Dale Kreutzer (who models the RGS in the mid to late 1920s) gave me a heads up about a new vendor offering resin printed cars and trucks in HO, S and 1/72 scales: Toys in the Attic, Inc.:  https://www.toysintheatticinc.com/

In the S scale category there are some suitable prints for the 1920s. I've ordered one or more of the following:

Model T's. Ignore the gaudy colors and imagine them painted black.

Fordor:




Tudor:




In honor of Espee, a couple of TT trucks:

C-Cab stake bed:



Enclosed cab flat bed:




And finally, a 1918 Mack stake bed:




Evidently each print comes with 2 seats, one with printed driver, one without (for a parked car).

Fortunately, there are limited prints suitable for the 1920s, as I can see where these things could become addictive, a hobby within a hobby. For folks like Keith, who model the 1930s, there are a couple of dozen different prints for cars and trucks suitable for that era. Lots of ford model A variations. Also another makes and models.

Will report back when my prints arrive.
