How bout those jeans, with the cuff, and no sidewalls hair cut'...
As far as threads go, I spend the most time on this one.. That must tell us we are doing something'.. right'... Or could it just be the quality of the comradery in this great group of contributors'...
Joel, I forgot to mention the "Bedazzled" headlights.
Ha, Ted, glad you like that restore, I do think it’s funny you keep changing your avatar! Looks like summer of ‘59...I would have been a few months old!
Coach, don’t tell my wife I raided her craft room for those little jewels! 👍

Hi Mike...by power, you must mean the lighting? You can always re-install "leds" in the building and the outside loading / unloading area. The alternate blinking Greyhound sign on the front might be a little tricky though...maybe you could just install 'constant" lighting there?
Sorry you didn't have any luck on the sale side, but I'm happy to hear the station has a home on your layout...I'll keep my eye out for any good deals on Greyhound buses to park there...on my layout, the bus station is a favorite
Hi Paul, I was thinking LED's but right now it's all stock.i was.just wondering what voltage you put to it.

Sooooooo..................do we call you ' Teddy ' now ? 🤔
Good afternooon
A few posts back someone mentioned ice creams trucks, Bungalow Bar, and Dugans. Being a former New York City boy, Queens, I remember those fondly.
Here is one of two ice trucks I picked up a few years ago. These were made by American Dimestore. Site: www. Americandimestore.com and made out of plastic.
The truck is not lettered but I am sure will look familiar to some of you.

Joel, OUTSTANDING job on the restore! I too love the two tone colors!
Lee, thank you, I have more trucks still in boxes that I need to dig out, but I have been side tracked trying to build a airplane take off thing!
Paul, I forgot to mention nice Avitar!
Steven very nice Ice Truck! Before my time, but I love seeing things like that!
I hope you all had a great day!

Steve,I had never seen that American Dimestore ice cream truck. I had picked up 4 of those plastic cars at a Cracker Barrel years ago hoping they would fit in a Lionel 3 level autorack but they didn't work out.

Mike, for the Greyhound sign, you can get a 2 blinking red&blue 5MM LEDs from Evan Designs. The sign will look good. 1 bulb on top, 1 on the bottom.....
Take a look at their site. great stuff, nice folks, and a forum sponsor as well....
