For this weekend, I've started another Sylvan truck model:

I've already cleaned up the parts, sanded down the steering wheel as thin as I dare, and glued said wheel onto a wire:

There was a-lot of flash to be cleaned off. That fact seems to be typical of Sylvan kits. However, this kit looks to be better than the last 52 Ford I built. I only have one repair on this kit, which is to fill the right headlight on the grill.
I expect this kit will go somewhat easier, now that I've learned what's up on the first kit. Perhaps I'll even get all the wheels to touch ground at the same time.
Plus, the first Ford is presently in dry time after repainting the blue/grey. I'll give it another day for the enamel to set, and then redo the silver trim:

Aside from the trucks, I hope to get more track put down on the basement layout. If I can get the track down, I'll have a pile of soldering to do. I'm running DC only.
Have a wonderful weekend of railroad modelling!
