Speaking of which, and bringing us back on track, sort of:
17/64 scale, silver-soldered copper boiler, main frame machined from 1" square brass bar. Drivers by Lobaugh, trailing truck by Henry Pearce, tender trucks cast by my father in nickel silver, all rivets individually embossed while watching the News Hour. Decals by Overland, but we had some made by LaBelle with black outlines. Paint is Scale Coat, baked. Stripes are by Pilot paint pens. Not nearly as good as a Marsh or Key, but I wouldn't trade it for one. My soul is in this thing.
