    Very nice, Tim. Monofilament line makes very nice truss rods.

    That looks very nice. Can't wait to see it painted and lettered.

    Good to see you back to active modeling, Tim. Either way, I'm just glad that you gave this ignorant kid a stack of your FMIG newsletters to read through in my spare time a few years back.

    Looking forward to more updates in the future,

    Wow! Finally got back to this project. A few touch ups here and there and I'll be ready for my first attempt at dry transfer decals. IMG_0987.JPG IMG_0985.JPG IMG_0979.JPG IMG_0978.JPG

    I love it! If they made a nice 4-4-0 in O scale I would kick around the idea of dabbling in O scale. I need two basements.

    Well, this was my first time using dry transfers. I'm not a big fan of them but you gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe after weathering it will look a little better.

    Tim, that's a true gem. Always neat to see a predecessor line being modeled. If any shipper found that this car wasn't big enough for them after partially loading it, they'd only have themselves to blame: the I/H, I/W and I/L are indubitably visible.

    Best Regards,

    Are you kidding me! This is just gorgeous. Those graphics really stand out huh? Makes me want to go to O scale too. Jim if I had an extra basement..... well..... never mind.
