I have had this for a while and decided it was time for a resurrection. It came to me repainted by brush. None of the trim or rails had been removed so everything had maroon paint on it. The bell had been replaced by a bell from???? that is over 2 inches tall. Tore it all down, stripped the paint, polish up all the trim, filled a couple of spare holes that had been put in the roof, then primed and new paint. It will need to cure now for a few weeks before I paint the yellow window frames because the maroon will probably bleed into the yellow if it is not completely cured.

I did not realize it until I was cleaning them, but the headlight covers are hand made. Runs nice, very happy with the results.

It was running Ok, but dirty. Even the wiring is Ok, although it is not hooked up to the reverse unit. Other than clean, I had to grind the back side of one of the non geared drivers to re gauge it slightly. Someday I'll tackle the reverse.
