A Set Restoration, Before and After - A Pictorial by Larry Worley

Hi folks, Doc here. Starting with a No. 7½ White Truck set in pretty rough shape, Larry went the whole nine yards on his restoration, repainting the box and its hardware, building new cardboard part boxes and trays, and more. Take a close look at the photos below to see what he began with, and what his efforts yielded. A beautiful job!

[Here are] a couple of pics of the [White Truck] set I finished. (Last summer actually.) I used your article** for reference. Bruce helped me with the layout diagrams and other details. I have attached a few pics to show comparison. I hope you don't think I'm bragging here, but I just love this set, especially after it was done.
