UPDATE: Chitchatter... Part 3

It has been almost a month since I had Vic's transmission fluid changed in an effort to stop the chattering.  SO FAR, it has worked.  (insert sigh of relief HERE) 

The car hit 139,000 on 10/9/13.  Tried to cover up some of the rust on the front left fender, which is getting real crispy.  Not happy about that at all...

Ultra Small N Scale Crown Vic! (AKA: Mini Vic)

Recently I decided to order something off Ebay.  What was it?  An N scale Crown Vic!

A company called Willmodels sells resin model railroad items, mostly buildings and cars/trucks.  They offer both wedge & final bodystyle Vics in different styles.  I went with a simple stock one.  And it is SMALL!  Well,  compared to the usual die-cast scales.

The headlights are "sunk", not flush, there are no side mirrors, and the wheels, while nice, are not accurate.  But what do you expect from a cottage industry-made model?  ANY Vic in N scale is a wonderful thing!
Having a little Vic for my Not Quite Model Railroad will be a hoot!
