    Great modeling! I love the way your buildings dwarf the trains - that's big-time railroading! You've done a great job with kit-bashing/kit-mingling. The signs on the buildings add a lot, too. Superb! :thumb:

    Thanks, N Gauger. I've been wanting to get a boxcab for quite a while. They're hard to find in pristine condition at a reasonable price. Chief, glad the rain did you some good. We had some good rain down here too, but could use some more.
