Finding the decals is now the biggest challenge but I had bought a double set several years ago.

No more pickle related cars - done!

In fact, I may even sell one Lobaugh kit car off just to recover the space on the shelve so I can put this car there!

Lovely car and lovely work.
I have a brass car, KTM, I think. What IS the fascination with these items? :)

I thought that the only brass car imported for a coffin pickle car was the Overland car - WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outside my budget!

You sure it isn't the Lobaugh kit car like this one:

The Overland one runs ~$600 these days......

Nope, she's brass. If it were worth $600 I'd offload it and use the proceeds as a downpayment on the new 3rd Rail B&O E-27

Dipped if I know - I use Photobucket. Send me the photo and I'll post it for you.

Thanks, Rufus. I may take you up on that.
It would be splendid if this forum could adopt the process used over on NK, especially for those of us who don't wish to be involved with the Photobuckets of the Universe (an inoculation, in my case, generated by Turner's complaints)

As far as I know, Bob's issues with Photobucket are unique to Bob...........it's so simple to use a 5 year old can do it. Even my daughter possessed of a scathing opinion of all was impressed that the Dad could use it. Now go get yourself a 5 year old!

I use it. They just keep making it more and more difficult, with their " improvements". Same as with Outlook/Hotmail. Still using it, although their method of concatenating successive e-mails leaves me lost.

I was in a hotel in Denver last week, and tried to log in to Hotmail. They asked me some questions, then sent, to my Hotmail account, a verification code so that I could sign in. Talk about begging the question . . . This has to be a very special case of circular logic.

Back to the pickle car - delighted that this place has come semi-alive.
