Saturday I started to take apart my Union Pacific M-32 Doodlebug. I decided it needed a new paint job so I took it completely apart. I am starting out with a primer coat. I have to touch it up in a few places but other than that it turned out great. Once all of that is touched up, I will begin painting it either a light green or dark green. 2 Hrs after painting.

Few Shots Without The Shell. It will be converted over to overhead wire. I plan to put a pantograph on top. Thanks for the idea Chris ( interurban ). Chris is a member over at 2Guyz. Side View Top View Seating Area

I finally came up with a railroad name for my doodlebug. It will be 2Guyz Railroad System.
