I set up the components from the Jet Flight Line set in a couple of ways. Having enough of Marx's smaller barbed-wire fence pieces on hand I set those up against the backdrop. However, they are too bent and twisted to sit up in a nice straight row.
Next came the hangar backgrounds and that worked a lot better. While the Marx 50mm USAF figures are all in great poses, they're just too big for the pieces in the TootsieToy set, so I didn't use them

Let's look at TootsieToy's rendition of an AGE tractor and generator together.

There's a whole series of equipment used on flightlines that the Air Force lumps together under the 'Aerospace Ground Equipment' classification. Otherwise known as AGE, it includes things like Bobtail's, tractors, generators, light carts, wheeled ladders, and a host of others. TootsieToy included a tractor and generator in their set, however, this doesn't resemble any prototype equipment I've ever seen. It's more like a futuristic fantasy tractor, almost resembling a golf cart. And the color would be wrong for '70s era AGE. It measures: 2.5" (6.35cm) L x 1.5" (3.81cm) W x 1.125" (2.85cm) H.

While the USAF did have tractors...
