After the terrible wreck, I got the 1689 back together and it looks fairly decent. Thanks for all of the tips and advice about the repair and painting process. I definitely went through many firsts and learned a lot with this one.

MBA,
Great job, looks real nice - Hay the video did not come thru, it's all black with just the sound.

it's a,"why didn't they think of that"? thanks great job
Terry, I agree. I wish that Lionel would have put out the Hiawatha as a slightly smaller engine so I could run it on an O-31 curve. I guess stealing the paint scheme for a similar locomotive is the next best thing. I didn't want to paint it (at first) but after I ran it off the table and destroyed the shell, I figured I had nothing to lose. It was a pretty fun experiment.
looks great ! but some Duke Ellington would've helped....
Looks great, you do nice work!
