You could even use mismatched trucks ...the repair shop got them back to work fast and looks didn't count . Nice work ! You can vary the scrap metal loads , almost for free , using wood shavings from a pencil sharpener ....if they are curled , all the better . I lightly spray them with grey , silver , rust ...what have you . Try it , you'll be surprised .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
