  I have one of those tiny wooden cbgs from you, Dave.   Well, I am batting only .500 on my two improvements today.  But tomorrow is a new day.

  I think I could spend the rest of my days repairing and improving old builds. Fun to play a bunch of my roster at the art fair today. I'm making tinys for ornaments. Out of the little logs in my shop. Santa says...

  I may try that on the steel wool, Dave.   Gary, maybe the library or newspaper has a copier like that.   Likely this box will be set aside awhile.  Lots of other projects cooking - and I am trying to make myself do some 'improvements' on old builds interspersed with building.

  Hey Uncle, you might try scrubbing the glue residue with 1000 grit steel wool. I often clean up old graphics with this and often loose none of the old ink. I clean most of my relic builds with the wool.

  Thanks Gary. I,ll do just that. That wagon train must be seen. I've got just the box for it...

  Unk and Dave: make a photo worthy copy of the 'other' side, and decoupage it onto a non-descript box in the future!

  I've got the same ? I have a Wagon train box with a wonderful illustration inside and a great top graphic. ???

  Trouble is, it would be nice either way.  Somebody had put masking tape right over the Roi Tan label and it left a residue.  That hurts the red a little.  I may try some careful application of goo- off.

  So far it is looking like red.
