MTH apparently cancelled the New Haven 318. I suppose that’s fine since I couldn’t afford a new one anyway. I’ve been trying to find a 318 on E Bay to make into a New Haven ( to go with my recently finished Baby State Cars) but haven’t been able to find one. So… I decided to do the next best thing. I have an old 380 and I did get to pick up a 380 shell on E Bay. The picture below shows the shell painted but not yet lettered or with any detail parts. The second picture is a new use for Lionel power bricks. When I reassembled the 380 roof I did not want to solder it as I wanted to paint it separately. When I put it back on I used 5 minute epoxy instead of soldering and used the power bricks to hold it in place while the glue dried. I’ll add more pictures as I complete more of this 380.
