              Don't like how the road turned out, so will redo darker & more uniform in width.

                  I like that! Currently deburring a couple of Arsenal M kits of Autocar 5 ton tractors (I HATE Resin kits) I have been toying with the Idea of doing the "Tokyo Express" in a much more Mountainous dio but more compressed than your current efforts. I'm sure you have plenty of vehicles waiting in the wings.....I have a feeling this will be a very successful endeavor. looking forward to the "Gardening". :thumb2:

                    Can't wait to see how well they turn out. Never wanted to take a chance on them after seeing other poor attempts.

                              Excellent, Paul. You really have a good eye for detail. Vehicle spacing and just the right amount of "gardening".
