Thank you guys!
It's 7 1/2" long and 3" wide.
I guess it would hold about $60 in groceries!😀😀😀

Working on the tack, harnessing, rigging.

Looks good!  I like how you'll attach the mule to the harness, that's something that has bothered me in HO scale.

Looks great.
Are you using black tape?
Electrical tape maybe?

MJ great job on the coloring; I almost expect to seeing him move out of the photo.

Are the Amish telling you how to do this?? If not your still doing a excellent job.

Thank you all.
I'm using scrapbook paper that has a texture to it.
Cutting 1/8" and 1/16" strips is challenging to say the least.
I've been looking at images I took at the Mennonite's and on line.

I've had pretty good luck with the old guillotine style paper cutter.  A rotary cutter would also work.
