This photo from Vagel Keller features a Sylvan Scale Models 1937 Chevy 2-ton dump truck recently built for service at a truck dump on Vagel's HOn3 model railroad module. This view shows it posed on a truck dump ready to dump its load into a narrow gauge hopper car of the East Broad Top RR. The truck is a stock kit weathered with a dry-brushing of Testors Steel and dusted with Bragdon "grimey black" and "dark rust" powders. Windshield and passenger side and rear windows are Micro Crystal Clear. The coal load was taken from an erosion channel at the site of the tipple of Rockhill No. 1 on the East Broad Top RR in Robetsdale, PA.
