80 years of devolpment later... 

Slow progress, had some trouble with the top 

But happy about the wheels 

Boom and bracing added, few parts but big change in looks 

Found some motivation 

Rear horizontal bracing and winch in place 

On her wheels 

Almost lost to the carpetmonster 

Headlights in place; next step is finishing the boom and adding the rigging 

 

 

 

 

Planned cargo (with spare decal used) 

Completed 

 

Only thing to add is base at some time 

 

 

Base made from a small picture frame, with the beer vilt as an insert. Sand and small rocks from the garden, and the reindeer moss from my dad's railway terrain stash.
Overall just one evening of work.
