Hallo Doc,
I'm surprised each time new, what you start for complex projects on base of very simple built base models. Congratulation for each new model and here especially for a new engine!
I'm surprised each time for the combination of different materials for modifying and adding to more or less cheap models - and each time with great success, with great know-how and craftsmanship. Wish you much success and I must say that I am a bit jealous of your beautiful locomotive models, all together! I own a small number of brass models but they need all more or less modifications and only two or three are usable for running on a layout. I love to build and modify cars however to revise engines? That means for me every time a great overcoming. All the more I love and respect your successes and especially your engines.
But now, in the next year I want to break through this line. I want to end the current two-car projects and then start with a large locomotive project - the revision by me on most beloved locomotive model, the Virginian Class AE. I'm not sure if I'll get a super detailed model, but the locomotive has to drive very well and most importantly get a good track running quality. Because that's how it looks now with the model is far from any usefulness! And I will of course here in the forum about this project!
Best wishes to upcomming year to you, Wayne, and all the members here in Big Blue!
