A friend, and fellow member of the RR club, was one of these.
I had just finished a kitbash of an Atlas wide Vision caboose, as an SP&S caboose, number 904.
At the club, there was a BN caboose, number 10029, (an Athearn wide vision). I coupled the SP&S caboose to it, and asked him to take a look......stating that the BN caboose (as numbered) had been the SP&S caboose,(904) before it was painted and numbered for BN.
The BN was his, and he never commented on the accuracy of my models again.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
