1934 Ford Truck built ground up by Ed Riley of Crosby,Tx. This truck has 350 hp Chevy LS1 Motor and weighs 2500. The truck was built to drive on the street, go to the Car Shows, and just have fun.
Decided to go green today and create an iPad stand for watching movies.
I simply took a fast food chain cup holder, a pair of scissors and cut the opening diagonally so the ipad would sit in.
You can even put some popcorn on the tray to really have a great movie time.

The Aristocrat and Aristocrat Custom Built models were fitted with what Buescher called the "Acouta-Bell".
Buescher claimed it made its trumpet and cornet bells with a special proprietary manufacturing process that used a secret brass formula.
However the rims of the Aristocrat Custom Built bells were not made in the same way. The roll at the bell's rim is smaller, and there is a narrow, flat band of metal running around the circumference of the bell just behind the rim's rolled edge.
The rims on Buescher's earlier trumpet and cornet bells, including the Aristocrat, was larger and lacked the narrow reinforcing band.

This is my trumpet that was given to me by a good friend of mine from high school. I always wanted a Benge Trumpet...it only took me 20 years to get one.
Elden Benge was only 7 years old when he first fell in love with the trumpet – a love that would turn into a life-long affair for the Winterset, Iowa native. It was also then that he adopted his first hero, the trumpeter of the hometown band. Young Elden persuaded his family to buy a trumpet for him, and he practiced religiously. He began playing professionally when he was 14 and, years later, assumed the role of First Trumpet with major symphony orchestras in Detroit and Chicago.
As a gifted musician, Benge became increasingly dissatisfied with the range of tone available in ordinary mass-produced trumpets. He studied the technical and mechanical aspects of the trumpet in search of ways to improve its playing characteristics. Working with two craftsmen skilled in the construction of the trumpet, Benge began to fashion trumpets in the basement of his home.
Through tireless experimentation, he finally developed his “dream trumpet” . . . an instrument with remarkable clarity, tonal range and easy response. Success was due to a combination of specially designed tapers, extremely precise machining tolerances, and special alloys. But the secret ingredient was meticulous attention to detail.
In 1939 Benge sold his first custom-made trumpet to a fellow trumpeter in the Chicago Symphony. News of the marvelous Benge trumpet spread among professional players and what had begun as an artistic endeavor was soon a thriving business.
Top trumpet players everywhere began to call on Benge to solve their performing problems. By 1952, the demand for the trumpet was so great that Benge retired from active performing so that he could devote all of his energies to his goal of producing the world's finest trumpets.
Benge's instruments defined a new level of performance and quickly became the benchmark by which all others were judged. Designed to satisfy a variety of musical performance styles, Benge trumpets, cornets and trombones continue to meet the ever-changing needs of today's artists.
Such a desirable reputation is possible today through strict adherence to the same attention to detail set forth by Benge in his basement some 60 years ago. Benge upholds this tradition of fine craftsmanship and perfection to create instruments of timeless quality.
This is an HO scale Broadway, Stealth series, undecorated, low hood, RSD15 which I purchased for a song on eBay. The unit has no sound and is DC operation. This unit will eventually get a Soundtraxx digital DCC and sound decoder installed. I call this beast SNOOT and it is detailed as a... what if... CN road #1752. The excellent research,custom assembly, detailing, painting, decaling, weathering etc. is done by my friend, Jeff Semper of Semper Shops in Vaughan, Ont. Jeff gave this unit the full meal deal as he does with all of his custom work. This is a photo of the beast before it went to the shops.
