Ted a special thanks to you and this when this forum sags a little you flying in and pick it up and get motivated again appreciate I it.

Lee, you are very welcome'.. It is a great thread and growing all the time.  I remember when you wanted to get to 50 posts.  We are now heading towards 100'... Been a tough year for many, and the thread gives us a reason to smile'... .😃

Ted, thanks for checking on the lack of number?! I think? Ha! Anyway, I’ll have to page through my book to find that one.

Lee, I have to say that since I’ve found this thread, I’ve really been enjoying it. I was restoring Dinkys and Corgis, but had no one to appreciate them like you guys do. It’s really been a fun ride so far!

Colorado Hirailer, wonderful job on the Nash dealership kit bash! Looks great!

Ted, Outstanding job on the GMC Cab Over truck, really nice token to Lee!

Joel, thank you  sir, Ill be heading out to the train room here shortly to put another coat on the hose reals and then I think it will be time for the clear coat so I can get this thing done! LOL

Great workeveryone!

Newest completed tractor trailers.

Dewman, sharp looking rig!

Well I did get out and put another coat on the hose and while I was at it I had clear coated the bottom yesterday so today I got a chance to try my Chrome pen. I decided to chrome the wheels! Here is what I got.

Oh and Joel, I did what you suggested and cleaned the bottom a little, here is how it turned out.

Mike, you did a really good job getting the rivets out'.. WHat size bit di you use?

How'd you like the chrome pen?   I find when trying to cover red hard plastic wheels, I first use one of the sharpie silver markers. The I hit it with the chrome.  It covers better and the chrome sticks better too............

Last night I thought I would try to knock this Lionel 40’ trailer out then start on the B-73 Mack. I have to order more tires for it

Thanks Ted and Lee for your nice words!

Ted as for the drill bit, I just started small and kept going up till it popped off! LOL As for the Chrome pen I love it sofar!

Lee, you are on quite a roll with your truck and trailers! It looks outstanding!

After my meeting this afternoon I went out and put a clear coat on the fire engine so I can use the Chrome pen to get things done!

I also got my Switching tower painted, but I will put that on what did you do on your layout today.

Mike, I did the same as you with the rivets.  But I didn't get as clean a cut as you have achieved.  The fire engine is looking very good.  I knew you'd like the chrome pen'....

Here is something for everyone'... License Plates.  They are sized for 1/43.  Just print it out'...
