Lionel lines trains are fun to play with. They are nice to hold in your hands and run them over the tracks. Personally, I get most satisfaction from restoring pre-war cars and engines that I obtain as overpainted, rusted wrecks and like to turn them into shining gems. This blogsite tells you about my evening hours.

Painting the All nation line traction trailer
The weather is excellent for some spray painting in the garden. First the box trailer was primed with a neutral grey paint. Then the roof was spray coated with dull black and the body of the trailer was painted "Maroon". This is a typical American colour which you will not find easily in Europe, but fortunately there is the Japanese brand Tamiya that globalises paint colours and brings American colours to Europe. Well, I am reasonably happy with the result. Just need to dust the car next time I make a picture, because there is too much tree pollen in the air right now.
