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 decided to modify nelson truckdela to have more details the red areas painted and the face
![]() mask the wheels ![]() other side ![]() the face painted with silver sharpie to look metallic ![]() all the parts painted a cream as a coat for the red ![]() and after painting the wheels red and the front various times here it is ![]() side ![]() other side ![]() and nelson (truckdela) with Byron (crankgear) ![]() you may be asking whats crankgear and truckdela? well those are the last names I gave to both Byron and nelson.
I liked tomy ever since I found out about it
I understood "Truckdela" right away, but who's your namesake for Byron's "surname"?
byrons last name is a play on words based in actor Bryan Cranston see Byron crankgear its similar but yeah now you know

custom for today is a red van that's on the rc Thomas but on a truck base
![]() 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 ![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]() the terminals showed bit of corrosion ![]() and the van by itself ![]() 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
![]() the back ![]() the wires ![]() 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 ![]() back ![]() 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. ![]()

Quite ambitious making an Emily powered T-Real, nice work.
modified 2.0 McQueen with the yellow rim on the wheels and silver on some of the details
![]() the left hand side ![]() and with my tar splat McQueen 1.0 the original model that has now the tar splat on the left hand side ![]() the yellow looks better thin and will drill on to the model to paint the windows grey.
