Finally had a chance to take some good pics of the long awaited 3rd Rail P&LE 2-8-2 Mikado Class H10b. Enjoy the pics, the model is impressive.

Beautiful!
I got one myself , can't wait to run it in the near future .
That looks terrific, Mike.
Incredible detail. Enjoy!
My goodness. So much sharp detail encrustation that it looks more dangerous than delicate to pick up. The all-weather cab is distinctive. It stands out even more than does the one on my MTH A-2 Berk.
And how many caught the background In Violet 'Cuda in the garage?
Man I got some buyers remorse at the moment. That thing is stunning!!
Incredible detailing! Outstanding model. }BEAUTIFUL workmanship.

The Mikado is stunning. Just beware of the battery, removal is difficult. Also, small chrome screws were found in the box, they hold the diaphragm stanchions in place inside the tender shell.
I suspected someone would spot the Garage with the Hemi Cuda. That is the prototype to a 1:24 Scale Corvette Garage Diorama the Franklin Mint issued around 1998. Here are some pics of the prototype and production version (a marketing photo). The Cuda is a hand made Sample from the same designer/model maker built as his interview with The Franklin Mint. He was tasked with building a convertible from raw parts that were unfinished and required to document the build with photos and specs. Some people get to have all the fun at work. All the license plates and photos in the garage were taken by the designer.
