        You've done really well with this Paul. As Rick says there's far better detail than a lot of similar stuff I've seen.

          Moved LeRoi project to here.
          Some progress on shaping, more to do. Fuel & air tanks done. Still trying to figure out tool lockers.

              Looks good Paul. Nice to see something whitemetal on here :thumb2: Well made whitemetal kits can be as good as anything else, and have a nice heft when finished.

                I agree Tim, but I could not locate anymore metal LeRois of that quality (Trident).

                  Tried CMK & HR87. They had kits in the past, but no joy currently.

                    Some progress. Exhaust, side doors & handles to go on far right truck. Found some RR gladhands that I'll add to all air tanks minus hoses.

                          Thanks for following guys, you keep me focused. I still get distracted by small model RR projects.

                              It's great to see you back with the tank trucks and in white metal too Paul. Sorry I'm late in responding as I had to wait for the delivery of a stronger Optivisor lens to see them. I really was beginning to worry about you though......

                              It seems you are still missing your old layout and starting a 'new' one. The worrying part is that your alter ego, Choo Choo PaulE would take over your minitnkr ego and stop all work on your dios. I realize you love both........

                              So when the urge strikes you to do a small RR project, go outside and wash the Camaro. If you have the urge often, then at least you'll have the cleanest Camaro in downtown Ohio, Buddy!!!...

                              Prost
