Looks good, John!
What size main rails are those? What kind of track did you build it for?

Tex,
.055" rails. I built it for a King track... stay tuned should work well.
The quality of the pieces is excellent.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.

Thanks all As to how I get it real Purdy....I grounded my tumbler as I wasn't getting the results I wanted, So I clean it in sections, After the main rails are down I was and scrub with a Blue SOS pad. I do the same when the pans are added. When its all done I give it a final bath.
I finish with Simichrome polish and walla ..BLING
Thanks to Mike Katz and Ray Duran for the info..

Floating bite bar, correct? And the square tube has belt&suspenders reinforcement of those little humpy wires? Gotta build 'em tough, down in the Trench Mains.
(and, hey: do I spy - duffies? They're scarce these days!)
