hello all---nice pictures everyone---thanks for sharing---kanawha,thanks for the compliments on the steamers---i can't take any credit for the detailing,they came "as is" from the manufactures---#3254 is a brass import from overland models,#81 is from pacific fast mail,and #3239 is a scratch-built model that was modified by doctor wayne---i'd like to post some more pictures,but i'm still waiting for the gallery to return---in the meantime,i'm enjoying everyone else's contributions---thanks again
