RE: 1951 M-System Breadloaf For Inspiration

[mezmo]

Found this on ebay today. Seller restored it and said it was framed in oak
for its structure. It looks to be a great example of the type. It has great
lines and a great paint scheme. The chrome trim on the dividing lines and
base add a great detail.

This would make a great TTT scaled down some. I'm guessing it's around
30ft full-size.

Hi Tom,

Gorgeous is gorgeous!

This M-System Breadloaf is one of the best examples of the type I've
run across. It has great proportions and lines.

Combine this, with forum member whitefishpoint's "Giant Tylenol" build:

And you'd have a perfect miniature breadloaf!

When I was a little kid my Dad was a pipeliner and we lived in the 1950s
house trailers. At this one trailer park/court we were at, the owner was
a trailer dealer as well. He built his kids a scaled down model of the
house trailer brand he was selling as a playhouse for them. Every kid in
the neighborhood thought it was the neatest thing going and we all had
a great time playing with his kids in it. The body of it was probably 4-5ft
W and H and about 8-10-12ft L and was quite an accurate take on the real
thing as I recall. He even used the same aluminum siding and roofing the
real ones used.

So you see, it is definitely do-able!

Once you complete the TD and rest a month or two, we'll all cheer you on
when you start your mini-breadloaf! Ha!
