Streets Vehicle Improvement | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

EastonOOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I haven't seen an streets topics lately and I don't post too often on "what did you do on your layout today" so I thought I'd pop this in.

I previously added to a thread from Lee on Streets vehicles but I can't find the original picture of my postal service van there. One person asked me if it was a "low rider" so I took the hint in this upgrade. I also added a figure, front and rear bumpers, and followed some of Lee's guidance for painting wheels - They're black just like the original.

Thanks for all the learning I'm getting here! Terry

Thanks Keith & Art, much appreciated.

I couldn't sleep, so I've already added a scale size box to the passenger seat (ready for delivery), put a black gas cap on the drivers side, forgot to say I already put stick on mirror paper on both rear view mirrors and finally, I blackened the slots in the front grill.

Lights are on my list...Terry

That looks superb. Good ride height, too. I always try to add a driver. Its a good touch that makes it more realistic.
