What's HO stand for?  ???

Supposedly "HO" stands for "half-O," being half the size of O-gauge/O-scale model trains, "O-gauge" being the size of Lionel model trains.

Thanks, David! I think I had an earlier version of that Matchbox pickup, back in the days when I was an earlier version of me.

Why the heck did I let my mother give away my Matchboxes?  :laugh:

Looking forward to pictures of the completed project.   ;)

Jeff Wrangler:
Of course, I could also do the story version. In the story, in 1967 Jack hasn't yet started to come into any of his father-in-law's money. When he shows up at Ennis's apartment, he's wearing the same old Resistol and driving the same old pickup as in 1964.

So maybe I could look for some 1940s style pickup--in green, I think the story says the color is.

Guess I'll have to start looking for a laundromat building with a second floor to it.  :D
