  1. The second one you mention did not work with the wife and myself!LOL
  2. I remember them showing these films in drivers education. Most the girls had to leave the romm along with a couple of the guys!
  3. I now live in a small farm town that still has a "local mail" slot. They were told to remove it yars ago but the Post Master here refused to do it. Where we did live before if I mailed a letter across the street it had to go 70 miles south get sorted and sent back because in the 1990's someone decided that we didn't need a mail sort in our central post office so now instead it goes to a private owned sort center. Every holiday season they hire a bunch of people to sort and load trucks. My son applied and went there and only stayed a week because it was a bunch of people that had no real incentive to work and werfe openly stealing cards and opening packages! When he brought it to the attention of management he was told mind his own business! I did ask the guy that drops mail here every day (contract hauler) about packages being mis-routed and all he said is "they call it logistics" and laughed!
  4. Thanks! I'll have to try it. I have used the old Testors decal set with good results but with the rivets and other irregular surfaces it needs a bit more.
  5. How did you get the stripes to lay down so good? They literally look painted on!
  6. Last video on youtube was 8 months ago.
  7. I was debating green or white but the truck leans more to the later white paint trucks.
  8. Still can't paint outside so started another project. Will be a CF with doubles when done.
  9. Just finished Grapes Of Rath. Before that The Summer Of Our Discontent which I still can't wrap my head around. My son got both first editions in a box of books at a flea market.
  10. Yes it does!
  11. Cutting back on crews plays a lot into this along with poor maintenance practices. Time to return human eyes at the end of a train and physical checks while stopped.
  12. It is a bit finicky but builds up nicely!
  13. According to a friend with a major rail carrier, dispatch gets the signal and makes the deciscision and radios the crew.
  14. Just finished the interior. Only add on was a geat shift on the column that AMT left out.
  15. Dark metallic green, black vinyl roof with brown interior.
  16. Detailed the hubcaps today.
  17. Some chassis and engine work done.
  18. Waiting for good weather to paint the Deora and a 69 Dart I have 90% done so started on a 1966 Thunderbird kit I got a long time ago from someone on a site. It is a 1987 kit that had been reshrink wrapped. I just opened it today and it is complete including all this retro stuff. The putty is even softening up under the lamp! Plan to build it stock.
  19. I stopped following Nascar when the playoffs started.
  20. Don't it just make you feel old???LOL Sure does me!?
