I got the Rusty Rails truck with the log load and chain. I need to get busy and finish it. I like your idea of putting an axle through the wheels. And I built mine with your suggestions. I glued the rod on the ends of the frame for the tail lights. I only had .20 bronze phosphor wire so I use it and a #75 bit and used a bit from a plastic Q-tip swab for my differential. Think I'll do my cab faded blue. I broke my log load trying to straighten out the crooked boards between the load and the cab. It broke very realistically so that's a plus. I'll highlight it with some grey to make it look old & rotten. Thanks for your great ideas on how to make simple improvements. Cheers from eastern TN
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. You have a lot of good advice and tips. I like the one, to clean your sand paper when it gets clogged to use your wife's toothbrush, i would refrain telling her unless you like sleeping on the couch. 😊
I'm pretty sure I did *not* suggest using my ( *or* your) wife's toothbrush! Not only might this lead to the sleeping arrangements you mentioned, but it would certainly jeopardize any future railroad expansion permits!
Nice build. I love Rusty Rails products. I built 3 of the HO tracked tractors and a boat. I have a bunch of cars and trucks to do. The best part is the price point.
I gotta say, if I had it to do over again, I would take some 1200 grit sandpaper and wet sand the hood, roof and fenders. I think this would improve the model.
Great idea - that would make a *huge* improvement, especially since my dump truck has to spend a lot of time reversing as it loads and unloads ore. I'll look for these.

You might wish to add side view mirrors.
I have seen photo etched ones for sale.
