Wow!  Looks great.

One thing that bugs me in sprung H0 scale trucks is the wimpy looking springs. They have to be that thin to be functional on a model, but they don't quite capture the realistic look of heavier springs in 1:1 scale.  I realize that it is not you - those are commercially available parts you use, but it still bugs me, and lessens the realism of your otherwise superb model.

Thank you! I hit the wrong Q button. I agree with you on the springs.

Thank you so much! I'm sorry to say, I didn't have a good enough camera at the time.
