Beautiful work. Nice paint job.
Does the kit come with mirrors and Grab Handles?

Great Job! :D Cool paint job. Did you pull your lights from another toy or do you wire everything up yourself?
Keep Moving Forward!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

The kit doesn't really come with accessories like mirrors, etc. Just wheels and a chassis. You really have to build the trailer from scratch with wood if you want to put a good paint job on it. They basically give you cardboard for the trailer.

I get the lights from http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com" target="_blank. They have a good selection of sizes/colors and they have a nice switch/battery combo that makes adding lights pretty easy. I have bought several lights from them.
