Just my chronic Rhinitis chose to act up at that time.

Its a really nice piece and happy to see it running. Are the pilot (bumsweeper) on this one also plastic? I have a mold for it (and have to bend the silicone mold to form it into a semicircle while the plastic is setting up. A pretty fragile bit.

I'm working on a 3 car set, but will have to remake the front ends (and the pattern was since modified, removing the 'bumper' on the lower end as well as the parts that extend on the back of it, so I will actually use a cleaned up part that I coaxed out of the semidestroyed original silicone mold.

Also, did he use a chunk of wood for the floor?

Mine has a metal floor. The offer to loan you mine still stands.

Always appreciate the offer, will keep that in mind, just concerned about damage going both ways from CA to east coast.

I saw that at the swap-meet on Sunday, didn't realize it was yours.
