Malcolm, those cars look excellent!

very nice Malcolm. what are you using for rivets?
Are those Tichy rivets Malcolm? They look familiar. Are you using a pin vise or are you automated in some way for such a large quantity task? Regardless, your doing great justice to American railroad caboose history. Excellent as always.

Thank you all,
Those are Tichy rivets and all holes are drilled with pin vise. I have a battery drill but I do not like the feel of it and I have a tendency to break too many bits with it. I drilled all of these without breaking a bit!! That is good for me.
