    Thanks Dale, will fade it somewhat, should make it look better. Don't think I have ever weathered a truck!

    The security fencing for the fertilizer and chemical plant has arrived and the workers are getting ready to start installation.

    Thats just really cool the way you create a scene with the figures and all. Where did you get the fencing?

    I've never heard of them, it looks like a pretty decent kit. It will be nice to see it installed. Are they only in the ENgland?

    BTW, OSHA will want to speak to the guys boss in that last picture! No wait, this is the 70's, never mind!

    Thanks,

    Ratio are a small company in Devon, England, but they have been around a long time. They don't have a website but are widely sold through a number of other hobby shops and online stores.

    Yep, used to see 'em all over the Will Rogers Turnpike (I44 from the Missouri line to Tulsa, OK) during the '70s.

    Not enough supervision, too many people working.
