   I liked the looks of those "Bones" creepers too. Until I started seeing   
   them stuck in peoples trash carts along the road with the castor area   
   busted out of them. As I recall it was a small circular area right at   
   the top of the bulge for the castor🙄️   
      
   I realize there are people who can break anything but I've seen them   
   several times now and I don't get out much anymore.   
      
   At least the old style from years ago was fixable. New castors and   
   board slats can still be had...

   Thanks. I checked and mine looks OK. I think I could slit, overlap and spot   
   weld sheet steel into a bowl shaped repair patch. It helps to end the slits   
   in small drilled or punched holes. I've hammered steel as thick as 14 gauge   
   into compound curves.   
      
   Were there any nearby grades where kids might have used them as sleds?
