Got my parking sign today & dug a hole & attached it to an aluminum post & leveled it. It's 18"W. X 24"H. X.040 thick aluminum.:D

Well, I took off the old silver paint off the front of the cab & the front of the headlite & it made a difference. Not in the ugliest, but in the looks.:eek:

yep Jamie, that looks familiar. Sure makes a difference w/that high hood.

You can make any cab fit any engine w/a little measuring, cutting(one time) & filling in where needed.:eek:
 
Here's a couple of new items that I made this week & changed the roofs on all my excursion cars. Got tired of looking at those sagging roofs.:D
Also, put the vehicle bridge back over the valley.

When kids come to visit I always run that train & have them to wave to the tourists as it goes by & you would be surprised at how many actually do.:)
 
Something I bought off Ebay, didn't really need them, but they were new in their original boxes & I got a good buy w/cheap shipping. Nice pass. cars for Roco.:D

Interesting photographic affect. I feel like I'm spying.

I like your use of the braclet letters for 'Moe's' sign. I keep looking at those trying to figure out how to use them. Might just pick some up.

Larry, you sure have been busy. I like those macro shots. Looks like that vacation bungalow took a good bit of time to build too.

Gary, I've seen those beads with letters at craft stores like Michael's. They come in several different styles and shapes. Never thought of using them for signs until I saw Larry's picture though.
