Today is the second progress picture on the dozer blade. I welded another 60 or 70 lbs. worth of metal to it . It's going to be heavy by the time it's done. www.doncampbellmodels.com

I am absolutely mesmerized with this build Don, your website is still the first site I check in my daily Internet routine. Hope your health is on a speedy road to recovery too.

Cheers,

Nice dozer Don!!!

I really like that shopping cart too, that's what I'd need if I went shopping at DHS on an open house, haha!!!!

No seriously I'd take that on a shopping spree at DHS, any model railroad store or maybe even my local grocery if I could find the right food to put in it!!!!

Have to keep it away from Trudy though, she'd take that cart to Michael's or Hobby Lobby or any where they have beads!!!!!haha

Although she would put a dent in the DHS inventory if she could now that I got her hooked on diecast!! Maybe she'd even buy out a model railroad store or three too!!!
