Just put the finishing touches on my latest "bitsa" locomotive project (bits of this and bits of that).
It's an F3 A-B-A with Lionel frames, motor blocks and can motors with small flywheels by Williams, courtesy of Chuggington Wilson locomotives, and custom painted MPC-era Lionel bodies in a very nice Milwaukee road scheme.
Got the bodies on eBay some years ago. The seller broke them into multiple auctions, so there was a certain amount of fingernail biting until I "won" all of the auctions.
Here's my question. The bodies are stamped inside with "Decorated by N. T. W. "
Who is N. T. W.? Are they still in business? When did they paint these bodies? The workmanship is pretty nice.
Cheers.
