Quote from Train Nut on 1-9-2020 "Very nice work. You really should post this on a separate thread so everybody can see the nice work you did on it. I was able to picked this one up at the train show in West Springfield a few weeks ago for $10. It's in pretty good shape. Had a little rust that I had to clean off on two of the wheels. Personally, I think they could have got a little more for it. I would say yours looks every bit as good as the original ! "
I usually post homemade cars on a separate topic I started on Homemade cars that has been running for a few years. I liked the picture of the super Lionel Live Savers car you picked up at a great price. I see they left a silver ring where the hand rail brackets were. That would have been an easier way than my cutting around them with the colored tape. They also used pre-printed colored plastic tape to install the life savers colored rings.
Thanks for the comments on this project.
