The engine is only one piece of wood. Not that much work. The fenders however is a different story as you can see below.

I wanted to applause when I saw the last picture. Excellent result.

Love the way the grill turned out and when the wheel wells are added it’s going to really be worth of applause for sure.
ralbuck I was thinking about that today.
As you can see from Dutchys work.
He’s put more effort in the two wheel wells and grill than most people put in building a toy but man o man what a nice MANLY toy he will have when it’s done.
It’s all in what you want.
Do you want something to play in the dirt. [which is fine I should add]
Or do you want something out of the ordinary, some thing to be proud of for many years to come.
O and by the way great work Dutchy!!!

Thanks all.
rjR Do you have trouble with the time I’m putting in? For me it’s a way of relaxation. After many years I finally no longer have to look at the clock and it feels fantastic. When the truck is finised it’s placed in a showcase next or maybe behind the other models and I love building and looking at them, so I agree with what htl AKA Bruce. said.

I am watching your blog with interest and love how you solve the construction details .
Such fine work and the end result should look fantastic .
You are right about relaxing and ignoring the clock ,I have let the clock battery run out and don’t plan on replacing it as I also don’t care anymore about the time spent in the shop other then it makes me feel good most of the time.
