You can't see it unless you pick the car up with the 0-5-0 switcher. Even though I can't see it I continue to add it to all the cabs. I just love the underframe details.

No truer statement if you can't see it why do it. I admire your determination to make it as real as possible

In my view the details make it a scale model verses a toy train. I never let the visibility factor rule my approach to modeling. Malcolm, that's first rate model building.

Cause it's fun and they look great? The extra attention to detail makes any model stand out.

Let me know about the C&O wood caboose.

Because they're on the prototype and you just wouldn't feel right if the details weren't there. Great job.

Well Malcolm, you do everything well, if not superbly!
Most of us have some talent in some direction and just as soon as I can figure out where mine went I'll get to it.
Incredible talent and ability on this board!
How's married life treating you?
