The tracks are a great touch. The base looks great. I love the motorman too.
Howard,
Wonderful as usual!

good evening...
painted the "motorman flattie" today...he's still mounted on a painting stick waiting to dry thoroughly...
i'll add a couple of thin coats of clear spray when i spray all the other trolley parts...
the rest of the project is in the "paint shop" right now...it's going to be colorful...
my very best regards...

Howard,
I love the passengers in the windows and look forward to the story about them. But I have to say that there is one problem with this project - I can't get the song out of my head. Everywhere I go I find myself singing "Clang, Clang, Clang" went the trolley.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful artistic endeavors with us even if the song stays a little longer than intended.

good afternoon...
here's the finished trolley...i added a couple of coats of clear gloss spray after the paint dried...
the trolley passengers art for the windows was buried deep in a file in an obscure toy train forum...i tried to copy the link...but wasn't successful...so i saved the image and sized them in a word type document...
as with all projects i see things i'll do differently next time...this one is no exception...
now...back to making a little house...hope to post soon...it's another one sized to fit in with all the other "pack-o-fun" houses...
my very best regards...howard...

I love the trolley and the passengers. So nice. I wondered about the holes on the sides when you were showing us the initial stages. I thought maybe you had tacked it together with a brad tacker. Now I see it is for the handles to climb on board.
Your trolley just makes you happy to look at it. Thank you.

VERY nice. Could you take a photo next to a quarter or something to give us an idea of the size? Thanks - Paul
