Taxi post puzzle: solved!
Placed all the ramps to figure out where the posts needed to go, then installed all the posts. Screwed in the back board as well. There are a lot of plastic pieces to clean and polish. I am missing a few trim plastics and that bums me out. Unfortunately there isn’t a repro set out…
