A Moskvitch 426 (or 427?) model car shown in an exhibition about design of the Soviet Union in the Kunsthal in Rotterdam. The Moskvitch wagon debuted in 1967. It was built by AZLK, the Leninist Komsomol Automobile Factory, until 1975.
It's Freight Car Friday but instead of a specific car this week is just a simple view of the classic all American mixed freight train. It's heavy with boxcars including older Plate C cars and modern high cube Plate Fs along with a nice mix of gondolas, tank cars, covered hoppers, coiled steel cars, and center beam flat cars....a true modelers delight.
This is Norfolk Southern train 14Z, a Knoxville to Allentown manifest that came off the Pulaski District from Bristol and points south at Walton just a couple miles behind them.
They are approaching the Switchback Road grade crossing on Main 1 of modern day NS' Christianburg District at about MP N295.5 as they pass beneath the famous Vicker coal tower. This imposing structure was built in 1951 as a further example of the N&W's commitment to steam far longer than many other Class 1s. Alas it only served a short nine years before the last fire was dropped in May 1960. Prior to this being built there was a fascinating balloon loop trestle and loaded coal hoppers were spotted atop it to load coal directly from the railcar into the tender of a steam locomotive below.

The 1955 Chevrolet Cameo was the first pickup truck to merge luxury passenger car and pickup design. Featuring full styled sides along the load box, it was a forerunner to the 'styled side' series from GM and its competitors. The load box featured the standard box insert from the other Chev commercial series, and added the styled side in fibreglass, a low tooling cost solution, from from the supplier of the Corvette bodies (Molded Fiberglass Products Company).
The Cameo also featured six and Vee-eight cylinder engines of up to 265 cid but with lower power than the Passenger cars. The Cameo, as the premium offereing from Chevrolet Truck division, was well dressed in large chrome bumpers, grille and other trimings. The stylist was none other than Chuck Jordan who later became Vice President of Design.
The single colour scheme for 1955 was white body, with red detailing in the bed and interior. For 1956 the colour options were expanded, which nonetheless still resulted in significantly fewer sales.
As the name suggests, the Cameo only made a brief appearance on Chevrolet's sales list, ceasing at the end of 1958. They now comand a high premium among light truck collectors from this period.
This model has been created in Lego miniland scale for Flickr LUGNuts 38th build challenge "By Random Appointment" - where the build model is selected by the group administrators and assigned to builders in the manner of a commission.
Occaisonally I build in Lego. Here is my latest MOC . A friend bought me a "Les" minifig so I built him a nice lathe to work with

Possibly an early 1920’s version. The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, more than 15 million were sold. Cost was $850 in 1909 and by 1924 reduced to $260 — primarily due improved massed production techniques.
