Steve great use of leftover parts! Exactly what I woulda done.
Greg I love those Ives cars (yours too Steve). I've found soe of the Ives passenger cars, but they always seem to have one bad side.The hunt continues.

funny you should mention that George....got a care package from Dennis Holler....
The Flyer cars has the link coupler trucks, so Dennis sent the tab and slot type to go with my other Flyer cars, but other than that they are ready to go.
The Lionel cars defiantly need some time in the shop. With the 817 projects some others have done, this one will get a repaint, and I already have a two tone green 817.Not sure if I'll go red or maybe something else. Like to find a close match to the tank car, but who knows.
