This is the pilot so it has taken about 4 hours. I hope the other 5 go a little faster. Steps tomorrow.

Wish I could accomplish that much in 4 hours!
Very nice...
Malcolm.....again, you show remarkable attention to detail, and superb craftsmanship. You leave some of us inspired to tackle a project, a model, or a scratch effort....keep 'er up. Tom

That is outrageously spectacular, as usual! May I ask what you are using for the drop rung grabs?
John
Fantastic work.
Just out of curiosity, how many different caboose types have you made?
The B&LE caboose has great detail.
Beautiful outcome of a beautiful creation, Malcolm.
All of the detailing AND with an air horn!!!
Fantastic!!!
Ralph
Excellent work Malcolm.
Malcolm,
You have outdone yourself on these! Bravo!
Dave
Preparation of the ore cars and the locomotive is already completed in my railroad. However, the caboose is missing. I also want to make the bay-window. Please send me the photos and the drawings.

Beautiful workmanship. Can I ask where you obtained the roof walk sections from?
From Atlas. Roofwalk from 4427 covered hoppers and thank you.

They will be painted like this one, faded red with lots of rust and iron ore dust.
Paint will be applied today and I got the decals in my hands.
I did not install the N scale water tank on the roof
.
Thanks HH.
Say Malcolm, that's not a bad idea of a water tank!!!
Ralph
These are extremely impressive, Malcolm! The B&LE is a favorite of mine. I live about a mile from the main line.
I'm dying to see the next photographs!
