Inspection car

You may be able to see the crew through the front window. The driver in the blue suit looks enough like a certain Mr. Gibbs that it is actually scary.
I have not yet decided how much if any clutter (boxes rolled canvas etc.) on the roof. Again this is the Tin Chicken chassis and sides of body by BVM. The ends of the body are Chivers left overs from some of their Way Car kits. The roof was first a Chivers roof but after much warpage due to 'Wood Stove madness' it was discarded for a styrene scratch built one. Hood is from a bus given to me by the Jolly old Duke (Alan Carroll) as are the headlights. Grandt Line makes the lanterns and I guess God had a hand in warping that front cowcatcher grill to the shape it is in. The story goes something like this: "The crew at the Bridge Creek shops had the blacksmith bend inward the upper slats on the cowcatcher as the driver complained that the ends were blocking the headlamps from doing their job". That's my story and I am sticking to it.
