George, That's a good thought.
I can say that the Model B is far from show room... last paint job was about 50 years ago and it's full of scrapes on faded paint. It's a 50/50 truck: looks good at 50 feet going by at 50 miles an hour.
Here's the old beater in color. To keep this narrow gauge, that's the early warning sign for the railway crossing in the back ground.
