Gordon, That's wonderful! I'd love to shrink to size and ride the rails on that out in the countryside.

Absolutely gorgeous work Gordon. The additional touches of colour and the ever so subtle weathering bring it to life!

Stay low, keep quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.

What a splendid model, Gordon! The coloring is great.

Tool car... The wood frame and bed  is out of basswood.  The wheel centers are Ozark Miniatures G scale 24" sheave,with a hand-cut styrene washer for the flange and styrene strips for the tire. The short walls around the bed is styrene. I painted the tool-car the same as the Inspection car. (black with green trim.)
