Can you say "awesome"? Can you spell "article"? -- Russ

Just "AWESOME".  The whole scene is just what you would expect.  Russ is right can you say "ARTICLE".
That was a great thread Gordon can't wait for more to come from you. Your work is just unbelievable.

The pervious photos, of the Doane, on the diorama were taken in a dark room using one enlarger lamp ( ECA 250W 120V 3200K).  The following group was taken in the shade on a sunny day. This model has 2900 parts and it?s the first time I counted parts on a model since my Michigan-California Shay#2 back in 1972. It was a lot fun sharing this with the group. I will be starting a new thread on my next model, a Lombard Auto Type Tractor Standard 10-ton tractor converted into a rail truck.  Plans are from the Sept-Oct 2007 NG&SL Gazette.

Just please don't tell us you also need new glasses. That you can't see so your next will be better. We couldn't handle that.

I have decided to post this on this thread, and not start a new one. It goes along with my previous post. Just for us old truck lovers.
