Needed to get out of the house so grabbed my folders of plans and hit the shop.
I usually pick a plan and print out the parts I need.
Not up to any thing complicated so found the old tanker truck plans that I have built before.
One of Toys and Joys older very simple plans.
Here’s what I made with the plans last time.

As much as I like making cattle cars for my trains may try adding a cattle mover rear end. />Here’s what I have in mind.

Here’s what I got done today.
Frame [white oak] and bonnet [walnut].
You ask why the oak frame well trying to save a little of my walnut stash.

Radiators are all ways interesting to me.
Tried making the main radiator frame walnut but the inside of the grill will be oak with a walnut back.

I put a small bearing on my flush cut router bit to make a groove for the radiator core.

As I said have no idea where I’m going with this but will have fun no matter what it turns out to be.
Day two
Still haven’t made up my mind if it’s pick up or panel truck or farm all?
