congrats guys, now you all have this little ridiculous looking thingy!

For the time being, I found a potential use for it on the layout. I parked it on the coal trestle, as if someone rolled it there years ago to get it out of the way after it was no longer needed. Blends in nicely with the rest of the junk; don't know if it will stay there though.

That turned out real nice Richie.  I never found anything good for the chain so I just went with a fine wire.  I did find some tread plate I could have used if I had known. Oh well.









I also found out I have dirt on my lens somewhere.  Not sure how to addrees that.

 Those old rusty rails look so much like old rusty rails . They have that unique purple-ish hue . That can't be a store bought color , what was the process to do that please .
