Satisfactory. Next year's Logging Annual is calling out to you. -- Russ

Hell I thought it was excellent.

Marty,

hadn't noticed your etch- I think it's easy to mistake them for transfers in your photo's- good job. This is the location of the patent plate (on the mainframe just below the lead spool) and there are some other often missed plates and lettering in the following photo's... just in case you decide to go crazy with etched parts.

There is also an engraved plate on the side of the cylinder and often missed cast in lettering on the frame end.

Thanks James!
I think I could add the smaller plates, thanks for the images.
I really wish Charlie would have done the letting on the front, but if he couldn't do it - no one can!
May be the technology is now at the point it is possible, too late for me and my model.
I kinda figured the etched guards were mistaken for decals.
I got the guards from Keith Weissman YEARS ago.

Maybe someone like Archer (http://www.archertransfers.com/SurfaceDetailsMain.html) ...or someone that has sim capabilities....will make you a one-off set of raised cast resin lettering decals for this.

Maybe this one would be the right size lettering to piece together "Willamette"

Theres a lot more lettering on the front. I butted mine up against a large timber crosspiece to hide the missing lettering. I assumed the guards were decals too. Nice!

Thanks Marc, I think it is too late for this model.
Chuck, you cheated!
I think I will just put some old blocks and crap there.

If 3d printed had been around back then he could have done it!

I wanted the butterfly in the stack to be functional..............
So after this afternoons efforts, here it is.

Thanks, Marty, I've learned one more fact about stacks and their covers.
