ginger: Can you elaborate on what this means "The tread area looks bare as its got that plate covering the bogey wheels, so can either keep it real or remove it to make it look more interesting or cut "access" notches into it."

I'm talking about this metal plate here:

You could (even though its unrealistic) add some cutouts (green) to show the detail inside to make it look less bare and boring. The tracks could do with being dirty in the recesses too, even if its dried dust. Looks like it's not been moved since it came from the factory, they would fill up with stuff and the bits where it hit the road would wear to a bright shiny clean metal.

Here's a dirty one:

Seems like the tread area fills with crap anyway, could be interesting to model but going away from your initial intention of a cleanish model.
