I turned my lights off throughout the house.
If them kids want to see real Halloween, ring the bell on a grumpy, half asleep lady who worked a 12 hour day and doesn't want to get off the couch.
Even still, there is no one around on my street and it's freezing outside

Might be, just looked at it, real thin.........
Those in the midwest to west probably noticed the BNSF H4 color scheme.
When I see this, i get stuck if I want to model a 60s era east coast or a modern west coast

Stick a magnet on it and you will know for sure.
No one in here is probably old enough to remember the prime years of the mighty pennsy.
Oddly enough the GG1 lasted around 50 years and got replaced by the AEM 7.
Does anyone remember these

We have never had one venture out here. Always have candy just in case.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
Does not stick. Funny tho, the handle that opens the door is metal, sticks, BUT the handle that rolls up the window does not stick!.
It is cast and chromed. I am not going to say what material it is. On my first 1965 Dodge Dart, the entire ring was broken off, just the spokes where there. And when looking at the broken ends it was grey and definitely cast.
Take a peek now. My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

My ‘69 horn ring sticks a magnet to it. Makes me wonder if it changed over time.
That's pot metal if ever there was. @CudaChick1968 will tell you the same thing. And believe me, she KNOWS.

All the more reason to be gentle trying to bend it back into shape. Cast metal does not respond well to being bent.
It did too. Just look at it. It's bent like hell. LOL
Looks good now, good job.....

My speaker magnet does not stick to it.
I could have lied and said I used the Uri Geller method to straighten it, but I thought that was too fancy.

Police, Fire and Ambulance sirens going off like mad here. I can hear 3 different Fire departments plus local and State Police from here and they are all activated.
Makes me nervous that some kids out on Halloween got hurt somewhere.
I sincerely hope not.

Yep, we are already under warnings and the wind is starting to get wicked. Looks to be about an hour away or so. Temps are going to drop 25* in a short time with thunderstorms and winds associated.
Today’s high was mid 70s, tomorrow’s high will be around 50 at best.
Winter is trying to move in.
