Did some clean up around the house and fence line, no actual work on On30 bash yet--too windy to paint outside but have some ideas forming on how to re-purpose most every part of these neat little plastic plate trains. Loco bodies will get a paint job new cab and ho chassis, caboose bodies will get new floors and trucks, original caboose floors will get new trucks and wood plank decks and become M.O.W. flat cars, original stock cars need to get trucks, couplers, and a shot of dull coat, cast coppies of roofs will be built into some more stock cars and maybe a few wood side box cars, tenders will also get new floors, trucks, couplers and a light(tiny led), original tender floors will also get wood plank deck and become yet more M.O.W. flats. Wow what fun from a pile of remnants of 4 sets of novelty toy trains comes a whole On30 railroad.
