WOW!!!!!
What everyone else has said, and then some! :thumb: :thumb:
There is, however, a lesson to be learned here. I'll get the cliche out of the way first; "the camera never lies". The more perfect you try to make everything, the more perfect you have to make it. With the beautiful trackwork, buildings, weathering,signs, and detail, the coupler pins stand out like a sore thumb.
A friend of mine used color slides, projected on a screen to detect imperfections in scale, color, detail, and fit and finish. He found, after correcting the "problems" in the first set of photos, that new problems became noticible. He would usually do at least three sets of photos before he was done.
Understanding that magnetic couplers need their pins to work properly, there was no choice but to leave the pins in place. I guess that's just one of the " what ifs" that has to be part of the planning process.
Yeah.........I really should be able to do as well, and not pick, but it is in picking, mostly kept in private, that I learn.
