The lights look great T-Real. Wouldn't it be nice if they could be fitted with Micro LED's but I assume there would be no place for a coin battery as the trucks are too small.

I understood "Truckdela" right away, but who's your namesake for Byron's "surname"?

custom for today is a red van that's on the rc Thomas but on a truck base 
[Image: 20230408-102404.jpg]
the van and the tomy one sad thing they didn't use this van often in the trackmaster range and even less In the fisher price era.

side

and back
[Image: 20230408-102428.jpg]
the inside I modified it a bit took out the red pegs on the right as it wouldn't fit and I actually put it in reverse to make a better fit. Also so the front didn't have a gap that's only present on the end.

the base the back coupler is original and the hook is of the truck.
[Image: 20230408-102508.jpg]
the original rc base I had to remove the wheels which was difficult as the axel was longer than usual so I had to force it out.
[Image: 20230408-102535.jpg]
the terminals showed bit of corrosion 
[Image: 20230408-102627.jpg]
and the van by itself 
[Image: 20230408-103747.jpg]
I might make a hole for the coupling but it still works well without one it looks nice one negative is the roof but I have thought of making molds of this van and making multiples for bases in trucks. I know I used the wrong bottom but it works.

I made and engine powered Emily I used a flat drive unit that was heavily cut to fit and got some wires to use on the model 
[Image: 20230409-234701.jpg]
the back 
[Image: 20230409-234732.jpg]
the wires 
[Image: 20230409-235611.jpg]
and the flat drive unit inside I hot glued the axel of the front wheel and added 2 weights on the front that fit and a weight at the back I might use wires that can move more freely but not now. works well but can go up hill.

Thomas but better I got the non working rc Thomas added a unit from a Percy and the switch fits and a metal bit that makes it run 
[Image: 20230409-235638.jpg]
back
[Image: 20230409-235645.jpg]
and the unit. Its a sandwich fit as I have to go through the model to close it but works. I decided to give it a spare tomy Thomas face.

modified 2.0 McQueen with the yellow rim on the wheels and silver on some of the details 
[Image: 20230519-164545.jpg]
the left hand side
[Image: 20230519-164549.jpg]
and with my tar splat McQueen 1.0 the original model that has now the tar splat on the left hand side
[Image: 20230519-164557.jpg]
the yellow looks better thin and will drill on to the model to paint the windows grey.
