Reply to "Let us see your Homemade Lionel (or Other) Style Cars or Engines you have Made or Modified"

I made a homemade Chicken Dispatch car.  A Lionel small stock car was used to make the Chicken Dispatch car.  Every other slat was cut out of the side boards and parchment paper was used to Sharpie paint the chickens on. Lights were added to the roof and a pickup made.    No chicken poop sweeping man though !

I later bought a Lionel Chicken Dispatch car with the sweeping man but I enjoyed making this car.

Homemade power pick ups were made for all homemade lighted cars from brass shim stock and Lionel plastic sided trucks.

Pickup detail.  A piece of tin can was added to improve durability of shim stock.
