What did you use to skin the battery boxes? Looks like a really thin metal 

Really sick looking truck, gonna hear that coming a few miles away

I should have known that you guys were master train builders as well. I gave up my layout when the kids were small due to not having enough room. I sent what was left of my engines to my brother’s house for his layout. I do still have a box full of US-1 stuff though.

Thanks! I have some thin aluminum sheets that came from an aluminum plant in our area. I used the cast box covers from Jamie to shape these and just replaced the originals with the aluminum ones. The steps are resin covered with HVAC tape. I have used this aluminum to make dump beds and various other things as well. It is very thin and easy to work with.
