This old Lionel operating log car has been in the junk box for a long time because it would never stay locked down. Today I decided to improve it. First thing I did was to remove the flipper frame.
Then I cut a piece of 1/4" plywood and painted it black. The holes are for small wire to hold the load on.
Cut small branches of crepe myrtle and glued together with hot glue gun.
Using some small jewelry chain and small wire to hold it all together.
From the junk box to the pike !
